The Questors Theatre

Throughout her young life, Verity just wanted to be understood. It's 1976 and Verity Taylor is a troubled young woman. Her father, Edward thinks she is just being a typical child but her mother, knows that Verity’s condition is serious. As her parents desperately try to support her, they soon realise they cannot cope - without help. A thoughtful and sensitive look at how problematic mental health is perceived by practitioners, mental health professionals and the wider world - Find Me is based on a true story. Verity is played by five different actors from our Student Group alongside a supporting cast.
