Bright Places - Paperback

by Rae Mainwaring (Author)

I was 23 when it came crashing into my life without warning, when everything was going so well, just when I was really, really happy . . .

Rae Mainwaring's award-winning play is a three-woman, one-woman show about growing up in the shadow of Multiple Sclerosis. MS for short . . . not to be confused with M&S or S&M.

Bright Places is a brilliantly funny, and deeply honest, account of growing up in the shadow of chronic illness. This 'glitter-fuelled pocket rocket of a show' (Watch That Scene) is a story for anyone who's ever searched for joy in the hardest of times.

This edition was published to coincide with the Carbon Theatre UK tour in autumn 2026.
