Ashley Apap – Outer Child

You’ve abandoned your Inner Child for too long – so how will you cope with the tantrum that follows? Join Golden Gibbo-nominated Ashley Apap as she wrestles with the child inside her (ew, not like that).

It’s time to heal – whether you’re prepared for the wounds to break open or not. On this frenzied journey of self-discovery and self-destruction, you’ll be guided through the six steps towards repair, understanding and self-compassion.

Ashley is deeply insecure – but inside her is a loud, grotty ball of confidence. Through her remarkable character work, original songs and colourful personality, she'll take you along on an exploration sure to be "filled with heart, deep belly laughs and killer vocals" (Theatre Thoughts).

After sold out runs of her award-nominated debut hour Ouch! in 2022, Outer Child takes a more conceptual path. The writer/performer examines how our insecurities can conflict with our true selves, and how seemingly harmless influences may be more damaging than they appear. This hour of mayhem may leave you asking, "and is this 'Inner Child' in the room with us right now?".
