Marie has spent ninety-nine days avoiding the problems in her life. On the hundredth day, everything she’s been dodging comes rushing in at once. After a nap causes her to miss her sister’s wedding rehearsal dinner, her boss threatens to fire her, and she ghosts the person she’s been seeing, Marie must navigate an anxiety-inducing day before it’s too late to repair what she’s broken.

Inspired by the playwright’s personal experience living with ADHD, The Unbothering reveals what a typical chaotic day can look like when avoidance takes hold—spilling into work, family, relationships, organization, and mental health. In this hilarious yet poignant three-person play, Colvin explores the resilience of those living with ADHD and the darkly humorous situations they often find themselves in.
