**Special Announcement**

After some shifts in our programming for the second half of the year we're adding an extra show to our 2023 season line-up - the compelling Normal by award-winning playwright Katie Pollock, under the expert direction of the talented Talullah Eden!

This isn't your typical detective story. The investigator is a teenage girl named Poppy and the mystery revolves around her own body. A simple tic, a twitch, quickly spreads through her circle of friends and before long, the entire town. As this inexplicable condition engulfs the community, relationships fracture and deep-seated divisions surface. The question remains - what is the cause, and how can it be cured?

Normal draws inspiration from the real-life mystery of 'the town that caught Tourettes', presenting a dark, provocative, and theatrically inventive narrative. Katie Pollock masterfully delves into not only the physical affliction but also its social and psychological reverberations.

We're thrilled to present this riveting play at The Launch Pad. The intimate atmosphere will invite you deeper into the heart of the mystery and the unfolding human drama.

Mark your calendars for July 21 - 23rd to witness a theatrical experience that promises to engage, provoke, and captivate. Join us on this unforgettable journey with Normal and witness the transformative power of storytelling.
