Step into an immersive audio journey and take a wild ride inside the body.
Discover a rip-roaring story of bowel disease diagnosis with blood, tears, shit, absurdity, hilarity, and humanity…all seeking to reveal what truly lies beneath a body at war.
Inspired by Camille Dawson’s experiences of struggling with chronic disease, ‘The War Inside’ tells the story of Marnie. Everything is happy, healthy and her body is functioning as normal. Before long, her body will be at war with itself. Undergoing the greatest struggle of her life, Marnie and her organs will have to fight the spiking disease and move forward with new perspectives on life, mortality, and identity.
A work-in-progress sharing the audio-only version of the show. In this unique and intimate audio experience, you will be fitted with headphones, enter a womb-like pod, close your eyes and experience the story sonically from inside the body.

Press & Reviews
PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS WORK:
Voice Mag ★★★★★ "Parades an unapologetic reality that the mainstream mouth is too gutless to articulate. A multifaceted threat with the prowess to seduce any audience."
North West End ★★★★★ "Dawson’s ingenious writing celebrates stereotypical girliness yet has a brutally honest approach to the crude and complex world of femininity. She is a wonderous comedian."
Fringe Biscuit ★★★★★ "It's rare to find a perfect mix of pure talent, phenomenal storytelling and unbridled creativity."
A Younger Theatre ★★★★★ "Endearing and universally relatable."
Broadway Baby ★★★★ "Genius writing."
The Authentic Project ★★★★★ "A wonderfully relatable, refreshingly honest coming of age story of the sort that we are desperately lacking in mainstream theatre."

The Tung Magazine "Bold, imaginative, and clearly resonated hugely with its audience."
