111 More Time

Tess is yawning on a first date and Georgie is falling asleep in her final year presentation. Often mistaken for hungover uni students, Tess and Georgie live under a code of confidentiality and secrecy as volunteers for their student helpline service – Nightline. Over the course of one night shift, two volunteers and the callers they encounter navigate student mental health, relationships and being on the precipice of young adulthood.

Originally performed as part of Manchester International Festival 2023, “111 More Time” is a fictional piece of theatre inspired by verbatim interviews with Nightline volunteers and young people with a range of mental health journeys.

The piece was created in collaboration with HOME, Contact, Factory International, Manchester International Festival, the Vacuum Cleaner and the Balmy Army.

111 More Time is currently supported by Contact theatre.
