Tomorrow is the final day of The Shape of Things Undone at Brighton Fringe.

What began as a small audio piece about memory, care, recognition and the lives that quietly unfold behind hospital doors has travelled much further than I imagined.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who listened, shared the work, reviewed it, or simply spent half an hour walking, sitting, travelling or resting with it in their headphones.

If you haven’t yet had a chance to listen, it’s free and available until the end of the festival.

Thank you to Julie Broadbent for bringing Christine so beautifully to life, and to Brighton Fringe for making space for site-responsive work that can meet people wherever they are.

With gratitude,

Lita

There are moments in performance when the world outside ceases to exist, when whatever patch of pavement you happen to be standing on, whatever kitchen you are drifting through, becomes unexpectedly, the only room that matters.

Bank holiday weekend. If you find yourself with a quiet half hour — a garden, an open window, somewhere still — there’s a free audio piece on at Brighton Fringe that might suit the moment.

The Shape of Things Undone follows Christine, a carer on her last shift, heating a sandwich in a microwave she has an understanding with. It’s about what gets left behind when things change.

Thirty three minutes. Free. On demand until 31 May.
