ROSIE DENNIS
Hitting A Brick Wall Since 1984
A school fete. A diamante tiara. A standing ovation and a girl lost in the glorious success of her own dreaming.
Hitting a Brick Wall Since 1984 examines the emotional fragility of a woman’s identity fractured under the strain of success. It explores the theme of long-term disappointment and the frustration and fatigue that can come with ongoing failure.
