Matt: Expanding the Conversation Tour is a powerful and deeply human theatre production based on the real-life experiences of writer, director and lead actor Peter Dewar.

Raw, intimate and emotionally honest, Matt explores depression, anxiety, addiction and the silent battles many people carry behind closed doors. Through gripping storytelling and truthful performance, the show takes audiences inside one man’s struggle to survive, while revealing the impact mental health can have on love, family, identity and hope.

Following successful tours over the past two years, Matt has continued to grow beyond the stage, inspiring a published book adaptation and development towards a future screen version.

Supported by Arts Council England, this moving production opens up vital conversations around mental health, challenging stigma and reminding audiences that even in the darkest moments, connection, support and recovery are possible.
