TWITS
*Disclaimer-Not a pregnant goldfish*

By Martyna Lawton
—————————————-

‘TWITS *Disclaimer – not a pregnant goldfish*’ is a new one-woman play by Martyna Lawton.  It explores real life issues by combining styles of stand-up comedy, dramatized monologues and multimedia. This character driven performance aims to show the significance of expression. “By voicing our problems we win back some power in our lives and we are no longer just a bunch of twits”- Martyna.
