This is the story of Molly O’Riordan. Undefeated Yum Yum Eater champion. 4 time employee of the month at Sainsbury’s. Youtube sensation Karli-Jay’s no.1 fan. And long-term resident of a mental health unit.

It’s day 384. Her review team’s just arrived. That’s you. Today, Molly’s got to prove that she’s ready to leave.

But her mum won’t pick up the phone. Her best friend has moved on. Nurse Eileen won’t stop nagging. And the internet’s taking her down some dark rabbit holes.

Whatever happens, Molly’s got a trick up her sleeve. A secret weapon. Magic. Like real, actual, proper magic. The only question is, can she pull it off?

Written and performed by the fearless and formidable Megan Ita O’Rourke, 384 Days is a semi-autobiographical, one-woman tragicomedy about all the strange—sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking—ways we cope with loss.
