When she was 17.
Now, she's 24 and spends her days bossed about by her mum and girls she 100% used to bully.
So, when a life-changing opportunity slides into her DMs, she carpes the diem, makes her millions and proves the worth of women one social media post at a time.
Except she doesn’t.
Because...come on.
Following a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, this arresting debut play by award-winning writer Emma-Louise Howell (BBC Writer’s Room Finalist) and directed by Hetty Hodgson (Associate ThickSkin’s Peak Stuff) transfer to London for a hair-pulling, fake-nail scratching, cat-fight against what it means to be a #GirlBoss.
An innovative debut production for the digital generation, not to be missed, featuring bold, immersive video design with creative captions and a pioneering approach to accessibility, this fast-paced, multi-disciplined show is a finalist of The Stage Innovation Award 2024.
