The Paper Birds Presents: 48 Thoughts a Minute

Written with comedian, Jessica Fostekew, 48 Thoughts Per Minute is a fast-paced, joyfully chaotic and warmly relatable story about the relationship we all have with ourselves and about all of the things we think and do not say.

From mirror-based self-reflection, 3.00am catastrophising and memories that arrive uninvited, it’s a high-speed journey through one woman’s unstoppable cascade of thoughts.

Your brain is doing so much. Some scientists estimate that it fires off around 48 thoughts per minute, that's a whopping 70,000 a day!

So, what exactly, are we thinking about? 48 Thoughts Per Minute is about just that, about the inside of your head: the hilarious, vivid and sometimes intrusive thoughts that shape our inner worlds.

Join director Jemma and actors from the company for a relaxed, informal script reading at Maldon Library on Friday 11 September, 7.00 to 9.00pm, as part of the annual Maldon Festival. Afterwards, stick around for a Q&A with the creative team.
