'I'll tell you what I really want. I want to jump clean out of my brain.' Essie's lost her job. Her girlfriend's left. But she's alright. Except lately she feels more like a chair than a person. One of those folding chairs. Solid one minute. And then. Margaret Perry's play Collapsible is a funny, furious monologue about holding on in this collapsing world. It was premiered at the 2019 VAULT Festival, London, where it won the Origins Award for Outstanding New Work. It transferred to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Dublin Fringe Festival in 2019 (winning the Fishamble New Writing Award), and the Bush Theatre, London, in 2020, in a co-production between Ellie Keel Productions and HighTide.

Margaret Perry is a playwright from Cork, Ireland. Her plays include: Bluets, an adaptation of Maggie Nelson's genre-bending book (Royal Court Theatre, London, 2024); Paradise Now!

She has been a member of writers groups at Soho Theatre and The Royal Court, and she is a MacDowell Fellow.
