Description It speaks from the heart and its essential rawness, sensuality, humour and truth are what hits home.

P Space Programme: 'After falling from a trapeze and breaking her back 3 yrs ago, Stacey Callaghan is swinging again. She re-invents circus in this dynamic and heart-stopping show [...]. Meet Scotty Challenger - the kid whose boyhood is cut short by 'his' first period; Jessie Kidd - the dyke circus performers; and the Unitard Bomber - a sassy sissy who's had a gut-full and is ready to blow.'
