VARIATIONS
"No, because you change one thing and all of it changes."
Alice notices that something is wildly different and entirely the same all at once. Stuck in a life she is frustrated by, Alice gets the opportunity to see another, and another, and another version of what her life could be. But, trapped in an endless cycle of breakfast, and as a person struggling to find their identity - we’re asked - can you escape what was always meant for you? And… do you want to?
Originally written for the NT Connections Festival (2019) by Katie Hims, this new production of Variations, performed by Bath Theatre Academy, invites us to explore multiple realities, identities, and whether the grass is truly greener on the other side.
