‘Dying… Dying… Dying… Dying…’
Two men sit together on a bench in a park, discussing ducks, politics, nature and much more. They don’t know anything about ducks, but that won’t stop them from pretending that they do.
‘The Duck Variations’ explores human vulnerability and our fear of what comes after death. How far will we go to hide our insecurities from others at the expense of deeper human connection? This production poses the same questions that David Mamet’s play did in 1972, set within our highly competitive and sometimes isolating modern corporate world.
This amateur production of “The Duck Variations” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

🎟️ VIDEO NASTIES 3: THREEQUEL OF THE DAMNED
1st November 2025 – Etcetera Theatre, Camden – 7pm to 10pm
They said we wouldn’t survive a sequel…
They begged us not to return…
But evil never dies—it just comes back harder, bloodier, and filthier.
Enter the THREEQUEL OF THE DAMNED — the third, unholy installment of London’s most depraved film festival. On the foulest night of the year, Video Nasties claws its way from the censor’s grave, screaming and dripping with perversion, to spew a fresh torrent of unspeakable horror, eyeball-melting gore, and flesh-soaked cinema depravity straight into your slack-jawed, popcorn-stained face.
🩸 Monstrous death scenes that'll make you lose your guts (literally)
🧠 Mind-warping stories that should've stayed buried
🍑 Nudity so gratuitous it practically peels off the screen
🤢 Films banned not just by governments, but by good taste itself.
This is not a safe space. This is not a polite film night — it’s a ritual of ruin, a celebration of the banned, the broken, and the beyond-the-pale. If you’re squeamish, prudish, or possess a soul… stay home.
This is your one-way ticket to celluloid damnation.
🎟️
SNATCH YOUR TICKETS before the censors find us.
Because after this… there may not be a fourth.

CHEF is a fierce, poetic monologue about a brilliant Italian woman whose journey from Michelin-starred kitchens to a prison canteen is told through memories, recipes, and raw emotion.
Starring the electrifying Miriam Gagino and directed by Alessandra Gonnella, this London premiere reimagines Sabrina Mahfouz’s acclaimed play through a bold, international lens. Chef is an Italian woman, immigrant, living in the UK.
At the heart of CHEF is a woman who once lived for precision and beauty but found herself navigating a world of violence, trauma, and injustice. Behind bars, she confronts her past, her guilt, and the hunger that shaped her: for power, for love, and for survival.
Blending spoken word, storytelling and culinary metaphor, CHEF is a brutal yet lyrical exploration of womanhood, class, and the systems that confine us.
A story of reinvention and resistance, served hot.
This is not just food for thought: it’s a meal that burns going down.

- Etcetera Theatre (map)
Dick Fiddler is convinced he’s dead. Grieving his job, his status and his own existence he meets Jenny: mysterious, funny and carrying a suitcase full of Kleftiko. As they cook, clash and connect, memory twists and reality slips. What if nothing is quite what it seems?
Dick Fiddler is Dead is a new, tender tragicomedy that explores identity, loss and the quiet absurdity of everyday life. Set in a world where logic bends and memory misbehaves, this two-hander blends dark humour, surreal encounters and explores the struggle to stir memory into meaning, layering fragmented pasts with the taste of something real.

Mill doesn't like her flatmate Gen, and Gen isn't exactly Mill's biggest fan either.
333 follows their separate trials and tribulations. Mill is a high-performance engine of relentless self-optimisation. Gen is less than bothered, paralysed by choice and chain smoking her twenties away.
They judge, they blame, they fail to listen. The result? They're drowning in unspoken tension.
"Love thy neighbour"? Yeah, right.
Written by and starring Emily Braddick and Katerina Topali, 333 is set against the backdrop of the London housing crisis. Told through shifting realities, fantasy, movement, awkward silence and mess, the show explores the gap between private and public selves, generational divides, and whether, in a world obsessed with the "self", it's still possible to just talk.
It might make you laugh. It might make you squirm. And it'll definitely leave you wondering if the two actually hate each other off stage.

Diaries of War is a biography-based performance about the lives of a Ukrainian and a Russian. It's 2022 and the war between the two countries has just started. The performance depicts K. and D. who question the ideas of patriotism and reconstruct their values through the everyday reality of wartime.
However, what would happen if these presumed enemies met outside of their familiar context? What will happen to their identities? And who do they actually hate — the people of the other nation or the politicians who make decisions on behalf of these nations? The performance is rooted in reflection on the black-and-white established representation of the current conflict which, unfortunately, cannot be resolved within the theatre.
The performance includes working with live camera technologies and has an original music score that was developed specifically for the performance.

KILL YOUR FATHER (Voila Festival)
- 17:00 18:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Medea is a remarkable story of injustice and ruthless revenge. One of the most powerful and best-known female characters in the theatre history.
A woman who transgresses from mother to anti-mother through the ultimate rebellious act of murdering her own children. She is infamous for challenging the patriarchy.
For the first time in the UK, the critically acclaimed punk-drama KILL YOUR FATHER— a radical reimagining of the Medea myth by black lesbian Brazilian playwright Grace Passô—takes the stage. Maria Paula — a Latina woman, an immigrant, a feminist, a rebellious actor—is now Medea.
When The Medea was originally written, it was performed only by men for a male audience. It's time to change the narrative. KILL YOUR FATHER is for the feminists, the women, and their allies only.
The play powerfully exposes the limits of patriarchy in our society. It’s raw, it’s poetic, and it’s killingly poignant.

At 5:36 a.m. in Alexandria’s Lepsius Street, three strangers are trapped in a stalled elevator, three worlds that never meet in daylight, suddenly face to face with History. In the words of Michel Tournier, ‘Nothing isolates us more than our secrets,’ as the machine halts abruptly and the cold metallic chamber becomes a place of confinement where a slow story of loss and revelation unfolds.
The elevator becomes a symbol of a community losing the ground beneath its feet. Outside, the city shifts: loves vanish forever, treasures pass hands, houses empty, shops close. The Greek community of Egypt sees its past shrink into photographs, postcards, and small objects unable to contain the weight of loss.
5:36 Port Said, inspired by a family archive and a yellow notebook whose last page carries a haunting farewell: “In five days I will be in our Greece. I promise never to forget Alexandria, which welcomed the Greeks.”

The First Human and the Last Life (Voila festival)
- 13:00 14:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
The First Human & The Last Life is a sci-fi theatre piece set in a post-apocalyptic future. It follows the awakening of the first successfully reborn human after extinction, and their encounter with a humanoid AI.
As Human gradually regains movement, language, and emotion, AI attempts to teach Human how to be human. But can a machine truly understand what it has never felt?
The piece explores themes of memory, identity, morality, humanity, and creation. It blends spoken dialogue with physical performance, layered sound, and visual storytelling using light and projection creating a sensory journey that mirrors the rebirth of humanity.
The performance features two actors, one male and one female, who alternate roles across different shows, each taking turns to play either the AI or the reborn Human. This casting choice allows the team to explore how gender and embodiment influence physicality, presence, and audience perception, especially when portraying the contrast between machine and human.

“My Dad would kill me if he knew I was on a lesbian parody of a Communist propaganda poster. Would he be right?”
Mille and Alissia have a lot in common: lesbianism, Dads who live in former Communist-turned-Capitalist-Dictatorship countries thousands of kilometres away, an obsession for colour-sorted apps on their phones. In this Sino-Russian version of Les Misérables meets Never Have I Ever, they invite you to a vibrant, biting and sincere celebration of daddy issues, queer friendships, Communist history... and multilingual forgiveness. Expect some physical theatre, singing rituals, Russian pickles, Chinese jokes, and dramatic PowerPoints, as their explore their relationships with each other, their Dads, and politics. Ready for the ride?

Everything is just un PUTAIN de jeu !
The Waiting is a burlesque one-woman show experience. Vibrant, snappy, bold, this one-woman show is defying the rules of conventional theatre in only 30mn.
Join Maeva, a French posh girl and ex supermodel who just ran away from her wedding. She arrives at this rustic pub. Waiting. For nothing. She just needs a minute, okay? To think. And remember. Maybe? About her previous life, full of fame, dodgy shrimps and Jean-Paul Gaultier. The good old days, you see?
Under a layer of Champagne Rosé and glitters, The Waiting is feminist, sarcastic and punchy.
As if Fleabag and The French show « Connasse » made a beautiful baby, we take the time to wait with Maeva, who left a trail of destruction behind her whole life. Have a sit, have a sip while she navigates her mind, and sharing hidden memories. Will she ever get her diet Martini?

In the faraway land of Southeastern Europe, also known as the Balkans, time is a loose concept measured in coffees and cigarettes, love and arguments are equally loud and expressive, and life is all about socialising and knowing everyone’s business... over coffee and cigarettes. Evo, Evo is impossible to translate. It entails a philosophy, an approach to life. A very casual one... Nearly there! Just about to!
A group of London-based Balkan artists come together to make a show about their culture(s). They’re here to showcase their drama school-trained performing skills and represent their often overlooked or stereotyped cultural identity! That’s what they’ll do! Nearly there. Just about to...
This collage-like, devised show, plays with form and examines the very process of making a theatre show while exploring the themes of identity, migration, assimilation and belonging. Involving the audience in the process, it celebrates cultural differences and similarities, languages, community – and theatre itself.

Oscar is a comedy writer with his best years firmly behind him. Once part of a hugely successful black British TV sketch troupe in the late 90s, and with his co-stars’ careers far outstripping his, he’s now making his living stoking the culture wars as a rightwing radio host. After a prickly first meeting, Bisola - an enterprising woman fresh off of a dating reality show and eager to pivot into acting from the unstable world of influencing - taps Oscar up for help writing jokes for an urban music award show she’ll be presenting. Through their writing sessions we peer into the ego of a man stuck in his past - soured by his politics and wider black society’s rejection of him, and full of passion with nowhere to put it. Will Oscar’s love for writing comedy - reawakened by his unlikely partner - be enough to help him move beyond his bitterness?

Through their writing sessions we peer into the ego of a man stuck in his past - soured by his politics and wider black society’s rejection of him, and full of passion with nowhere to put it. Will Oscar’s love for writing comedy - reawakened by his unlikely partner - be enough to help him move beyond his bitterness?

In the faraway land of Southeastern Europe, also known as the Balkans, time is a loose concept measured in coffees and cigarettes, love and arguments are equally loud and expressive, and life is all about socialising and knowing everyone’s business... over coffee and cigarettes. Evo, Evo is impossible to translate. It entails a philosophy, an approach to life. A very casual one... Nearly there! Just about to!
A group of London-based Balkan artists come together to make a show about their culture(s). They’re here to showcase their drama school-trained performing skills and represent their often overlooked or stereotyped cultural identity! That’s what they’ll do! Nearly there. Just about to...
This collage-like, devised show, plays with form and examines the very process of making a theatre show while exploring the themes of identity, migration, assimilation and belonging. Involving the audience in the process, it celebrates cultural differences and similarities, languages, community – and theatre itself.

The First Human and the Last Life (Voila festival)

- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
The First Human & The Last Life is a sci-fi theatre piece set in a post-apocalyptic future. It follows the awakening of the first successfully reborn human after extinction, and their encounter with a humanoid AI.
As Human gradually regains movement, language, and emotion, AI attempts to teach Human how to be human. But can a machine truly understand what it has never felt?
The piece explores themes of memory, identity, morality, humanity, and creation. It blends spoken dialogue with physical performance, layered sound, and visual storytelling using light and projection creating a sensory journey that mirrors the rebirth of humanity.
The performance features two actors, one male and one female, who alternate roles across different shows, each taking turns to play either the AI or the reborn Human. This casting choice allows the team to explore how gender and embodiment influence physicality, presence, and audience perception, especially when portraying the contrast between machine and human.

After being developed as part of a Masters' thesis at Mountview Academy, Babel Beast returns to the stage with more zest, chest and tantalizing mess.
Herself divided between Italy, France and the UK, Sofia Natoli explores her multiculuralism and the lived experience of (un)belonging in between cultural spaces. Multi-roling the notorious femme fatales from Ancient Greece, she playfully challenges the audience through a series of acts based on the principle of "take and break". From song, to burlesque and emceeing, mime and lip syncing, this feminist theatre adaptation explores agency and identity as a hybrid woman, exposing the multiple voices that layer one person.
The Sphynx is calling and she's got a wild line-up waiting for you...

On a cold festive night, under the glow of a lonely streetlamp, a young migrant boy wraps himself in a torn blanket and begins to write a letter—to a mother who will never read it. Dead Letter is a soul-stirring bilingual solo performance that blends Bengali and English, memory and monologue, soundscape and silence.
Set against the backdrop of a bustling chicken shop and the aching stillness of night, this poetic piece journeys through the raw terrain of urban migration, grief, and invisible survival. DEAD LETTER weaves together minimalist staging and lyrical storytelling to illuminate the weight of love, loss, and everything that remains unsaid.
Tender, haunting, and deeply human, DEAD LETTER invites you to pause—and listen—to a voice we often walk past.

An intense and provokingly funny, sometimes spoken word-y, journey about love, having a complicated relationship with one's home country and the one word that cannot be translated in English. If I were to say it in English is a performative piece that follows the story of a migrant girl constructing her own mix of languages to explore themes of love, violence and longing jumping between stories of romance and significant moments from Romania’s recent harsh history.

The Window Project: Intimate, exposed and a little bit broken.
Two people, an apartment and too many windows. In a space that keeps shifting- part real, part miniature, part imagined- a couple navigates intimacy, identity and the act of looking and being looked at; a portal between exposure and privacy. A story that feels familiar and yet so strange. Perhaps wondering: are we what we choose to show, or what we choose to hide?
There’s romance, humour, a touch of existential crisis and somewhere in all of it, maybe there’s you. Original music, poetic scenography, and the choreography of everyday life come together in a piece that watches you back.
Sharp, electric and uncomfortably tender.

‘Had it not been for her, our species would have self-destructed. Our legacy: a thin layer of plastic, concrete and chicken bones in the earth’s crust.’
What would a human from the distant future say if they suddenly found themselves in the present? What would they reveal about the future of our world and species?
Brave New World meets Black Mirror, this disturbingly plausible look into the future of humankind is as gripping as it is increasingly urgent.
Plastic and Chicken Bones won the Best Newcomer Award at Brighton Fringe in 2022. It is written by and stars Maltese playwright Malcolm Galea whose other UK accolades include the Brighton Fringe Award for Outstanding Theatre (2024) and the Off West End Theatre Award for Best New Musical (2011).

….. and Juliet (VOILA FESTIVAL)
- 17:00 18:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
A poetic, sensuous, dynamic and sacramental exploration of love beyond time. In this haunting contemporary solo performance, Juliet exists in liminal space after Romeo's death, her body searching for meaning in a world that questions the very nature of transformative passion.
From the acclaimed contemporary Greek play by Akis Dimou, this post-dramatic work weaves together Butoh movement, physical theatre, dance theatre, prose and diverse musical soundscapes. The performer moves fluidly between artistic languages rather than inhabiting a fixed character role.
This ritualistic exploration re-imagines love for our contemporary reality, challenging conventional theatrical boundaries through hybrid movement traditions and vocal textures. The performance deliberately occupies liminal space—neither purely traditional nor modern, neither entirely Greek nor universal.
Performed in Greek with English surtitles, this visceral journey offers audiences a transformative experience that blurs the lines between performer and archetype, classical wisdom and contemporary questioning.

Everything is just un PUTAIN de jeu !
The Waiting is a burlesque one-woman show experience. Vibrant, snappy, bold, this one-woman show is defying the rules of conventional theatre in only 30mn.
Join Maeva, a French posh girl and ex supermodel who just ran away from her wedding. She arrives at this rustic pub. Waiting. For nothing. She just needs a minute, okay? To think. And remember. Maybe? About her previous life, full of fame, dodgy shrimps and Jean-Paul Gaultier. The good old days, you see?
Under a layer of Champagne Rosé and glitters, The Waiting is feminist, sarcastic and punchy.
As if Fleabag and The French show « Connasse » made a beautiful baby, we take the time to wait with Maeva, who left a trail of destruction behind her whole life. Have a sit, have a sip while she navigates her mind, and sharing hidden memories. Will she ever get her diet Martini?

A dark comedy exploring the universal female experience through a personal lens shaped by life between two cultures. This candid one-woman show delves into the tension between public persona and private truth—woven with bursts of Arab pop and raw, unfiltered storytelling.
When the spotlight fades, the real story begins.With sharp humour and raw vulnerability, the piece unpacks identity, cultural expectation, and the pressure to perform versions of ourselves to be accepted. This is a timely reflection on the cost of visibility and the courage it takes to embrace one’s authentic self.
A cross-cultural narrative that is both specific and widely relatable, the show resonates with anyone who has felt caught between worlds. It holds a mirror to the modern female condition—challenging, empowering, and ultimately liberating.

Born from rumours in Chinese folklore and the present-day hellscape of London, Fauxx (“fox”) shapeshifts between the divine and ungodly. Hiding their tails of deception, they spread their tales to those who can hear the whispers rising from the flames.
Fauxx dances through transness, migration, and power, a mischievous response to the perception of the Other as a threat, challenging ideas of what is natural and what is sacred. Inspired by stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling, Strange Tails Fauxx Lores finds new life using a feral hybrid of burlesque, glove puppetry, poetics, and video projection.

Mari is both Greek and English but never quite understood her late mum, Katerina, who was raised in a very different context, Greece. Through fragmented flashbacks, obscure spiritual practices, and vivid Greek traditions, Mari’s journey of mourning unfolds.
Blending dark comedy with surrealism, Hands On explores generational divides, migration, and the lingering echoes of trauma. It’s a heartfelt exploration about the ones who leave, the ones left behind, and what it means to belong; to a place, a culture, and to the people who shape us.

Cherry Sour is once again left alone in a world that is constantly proving her how violent and dangerous it is to be on your own. She had no friends nor family until she met Johnny, the lead singer of the glam rock band "The Pink Flamingos". They were together for the wrong reasons, they had never experienced LOVE before, and their dreams were destroyed.
But now he's gone. We'll get to know the story of Cherry in the only place where she's got a spotlight: a police interrogatory room, after pledging guilty for the death of the rockstar. Did she kill him? This is her only chance to tell her story out loud.
A story about love, abandonment, and lots of glam songs!
This is a one woman show adaptation and translation of Cherry Sour. Originally produced in Mexico, and an Honorific Mention by the National Prize for Playwrights Manuel Herrera 2019.

- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Born from rumours in Chinese folklore and the present-day hellscape of London, Fauxx (“fox”) shapeshifts between the divine and ungodly. Hiding their tails of deception, they spread their tales to those who can hear the whispers rising from the flames.
Fauxx dances through transness, migration, and power, a mischievous response to the perception of the Other as a threat, challenging ideas of what is natural and what is sacred. Inspired by stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling, Strange Tails Fauxx Lores finds new life using a feral hybrid of burlesque, glove puppetry, poetics, and video projection.
This is a work-in-progress performance.

What happens when the most famous ghost in literature runs the risk of being forgotten? Crownless is a bold new spin on Hamlet, narrated by the ghost of Hamlet’s father. He has a score to settle, but there’s just one problem: his only daughter isn’t interested in playing the part. He waits for her in the garden... and she never shows up. But revenge is not something a king lets go of easily. He's forced to weave together a new story... and ends up haunting her coat.
What begins as a demand for vengeance, unravels into a fractured relationship exposed and forced into confrontation. Using actual text from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and blending it with contemporary female poetry, this one-woman show is a Hamlet fashioned in a whole new style. It’s a ghost story, a coming-of-age tale, and a love letter to saying “no.”
With sharp dialogue, unexpected laughs, and a coat full of unresolved trauma... this show walks the line between comedy and heartbreak. Perfect for lovers (and haters) of Shakespeare, poetry fans, supporters of feminism, and anyone who’s ever argued with a parent’s voice in their head.

- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Clara is fleeing from Love - from Rio to Frankfurt at half past ten. That's the truth. Everything else may be entirely made-up.
Clara is in her bedroom, the departure point for her escape route. Immediately becoming her confidantes, we are told she makes up stories, and must tell them to survive. Through poetry, music and humour, we are swayed into strange scenarios, tales of Love in personified form, and profound reflections on death.I have a flight to Frankfurt at half past ten, a new monologue by Brazilian writer Kika Hamaoui, follows a woman's journey from tragedy towards freedom. The play explores the complex nature of love and belonging on the face of migration. Performed by a bilingual actor, it retains the rhythms of the Portuguese language, enhanced by projection and physicality. I have a flight... embodies what happens inside a chaotic and imaginative mind on the cusp of life-changing events.

Sorry for your loss (BUT NOT REALLY) (voila festival)
- 15:00 16:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
Sorry for Your Loss (But Not Really) is a 60-minute dark comedy that follows a woman who fakes her death in a desperate, hilarious search for truth, love, and emotional validation. Created through devising, physical theatre, and projection, the show explores performative grief, social façades, and the awkward intimacy of being remembered too late.
Inspired by both Eastern and Western funeral traditions, the piece is surreal, heartfelt, and sharply funny — confronting life and death through a theatrical lens that’s as ridiculous as it is deeply human.
This new work is brought to you by CKM Creatives, a migrant-led collective blending physical storytelling, cultural identity, and multimedia performance. Expect a coffin, a guest list, unexpected tears, and maybe even your own eulogy.

The First Human and the Last Life (Voila festival)
- 21:00 22:00
- 265 Camden High StreetLondon, England, NW1 7BUUnited Kingdom (map)
The First Human & The Last Life is a sci-fi theatre piece set in a post-apocalyptic future. It follows the awakening of the first successfully reborn human after extinction, and their interactions with a humanoid AI. Human gradually regains movement, language, and emotion, AI tries to teach Human how to be human. But can a machine understand what it’s never felt?
The piece explores themes of memory, identity, morality, humanity and creation. It blends spoken dialogue with physical acting, layered sound, and visual storytelling using light and projection — creating a sensory journey that mirrors the rebirth of humanity.
The performance features two actors — one male, one female — who alternate roles across different shows, each taking turns to play either the AI or the reborn human. This casting choice allows the team to explore how gender and embodiment influence physicality, presence, and audience perception, especially when portraying the contrast between machine and human.

Alex works remotely and spends most of her shifts getting yelled at by strangers through her headset. Yes, she hates her job. Yes, she fantasises about quitting daily-but doesn’t everyone? That’s what she tells herself at least. That’s what she tells herself so she can endure her miserable 9-5 (or rather, her miserable 3pm-midnight). She copes with junk food and booze and dreams of a day when she can take her headset off for good, but a fateful encounter with a caller in the midst of a severe mental health crisis sends her spiralling and forces her to reckon with her own history of suicidal ideation. Thank You For Calling is a dramatised version of a real encounter at a real job. At its core, it is a story about isolation, hope, and how we fight to bear the unbearable, and imbue our lives with meaning.
Written and performed by Larissa Ryan and directed by Jaeonnie Davis-Crawford, Thank You For Calling arrives in London for one night only following successful runs at the San Diego International Fringe Festival in May 2025 and Birmingham Fringe Festival in July 2024.
Content warning for sexual harassment, discussion of self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

They return to a house that once held them — lovers, siblings, friends, and rivals — drawn back by time, silence, and unfinished things. Within its walls, memories stir and unravel. The house becomes memory itself: echoing,
shifting, incomplete — a place they never truly left.

ONE WOMAN AND HER BITCH by William Lyons
- 19:00 20:00
- Etcetera Theatre (map)
The play is a highly theatrical and absurdist comedy blending influences from Aristophanes, Brecht, and Panto on the theme of being homeless in a big city. Showing an influence from Brecht, the play deliberately breaks the fourth-wall, invites improvisation, includes audience-interaction, and interrupts the action with song at a number of places, and has serious social concerns. In deference to Panto, the actors are given the freedom to ad lib, engage with the audience, invent "funny walks" or wear clothing with local references etc.

'Roo Sutcliffe has studied all her life to become an actor. She attended prestigious drama schools and was taught by renowned practitioners. What did she learn? Actors are wankers. All of them… perhaps.
In this passionate display, Roo expresses her disdain for theatre through the distinctive medium of theatre. She ridicules the absurdities of the industry, from the name-dropping directors to the unbearable agents she is absolutely hoping are in the audience tonight.
It’s time the industry (that she so desperately wants to be in) gets called out for what it is. And Roo will, of course, call it out using her diaphragm.'
