## The brutal, shocking and yet deeply moving one man show, *I Am Not Myself These Days*, comes to Brighton next February following its debut at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

**The play,** adapted from **Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s** bestselling autobiography, is a fast-paced, at times darkly humorous tale of love, self-destruction and personal discovery, set in the flashy, trashy New York of the 1990s.

It tells the story of Josh, a successful advertising art director by day who at night transforms into Aquadisiac, an alcoholic drag queen desperately trying to make her relationship work with Jack, a high-class rent boy addicted to crack.

The show has been described as heartbreaking, gripping, and profoundly affecting, with a breathtakingly physical, central performance from **Tom Stuart**, who also adapted Kilmer-Purcell’s memoir for the stage.

**Stuart writes:** *“It’s such an incredibly honest, open and engaging book. I wanted to see if I could extend that honesty to the stage and make an audience feel how I felt reading the book alone in my bed. I like to think of it as a love story, albeit an unconventional one. Although set in a specific time and place, I think most people will be able to relate to and recognise something of themselves in it, whatever their background or circumstances.”*
