Tuppence Middleton

Scorpions

 – Venue 2

Often used as a shorthand for tidiness or as the punchline of a joke, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of society’s most misunderstood disorders.

Actor Tuppence Middleton has lived with OCD since the age of 11, struggling with obsessive thoughts and compulsions which she visualises as scorpions inhabiting her mind.

Hear Middleton discuss her diagnosis, how OCD manifests in her life, and her memoir Scorpions, a visceral and uncompromising look at living with OCD.

Middleton is a British actor and writer working in film, television and theatre. She starred in Netflix’s Sense8, and had roles in The Imitation Game, Shadowplay and more. She grew up in Somerset, South West England.

Price: £16.00
