Writer and performer Amy Trigg is bringing their debut show, Reasons You Should(n’t) Love Me, to Live Theatre in Newcastle from Wednesday 7^th-Saturday 10^th September ahead of its national tour, which also calls in to Arts Centre Washington on Monday 10^th October and Middlesbrough Town Hall on Wednesday 19^th October.

Love is already a complicated thing, and the character of Juno is feeling the weight of all of it. Amy Trigg uses a wheelchair and seems like they could be writing from experience when discussing the impact of other people’s comments about Juno’s sex life. Disability has been a long time challenge for the performance industry to understand, and Trigg is breaking down the barriers by focusing exclusively on a character with spina bifida, as well as the usual struggles of a woman in her 20’s.

Reasons You Should(n’t) Love Me is an exploration of love and loneliness, as well as how we look at ourselves. Juno views herself as an unfinished project, and we all have work to do developing who we are, but navigating that feeling while dating is hard work!

Funny, challenging and heart-warming, this show is a must see for anyone who is trying to work themselves out in a world that isn’t as straightforward as we’d like.

Reasons You Should(n’t) Love Me is at Live Theatre, Newcastle from Wednesday 7^th-Saturday 10^th September, Arts Centre Washington on Monday 10^th October and Middlesbrough Town Hall on Wednesday 19^th October.
