The story

Alice Mayer's one-woman show follows Charlie, convinced that dating is turning her into something deadly, as she tries to make sense of what has happened to the people she has left behind. Pitched between horror and romantic comedy, it deals with guilt, sexual assault and death.

In the room

A darkly comic solo piece built from monologues, puppetry, music and original songs, with one performer carrying the whole story.

Good fit if you like

dark comedy, horror stories about dating and solo shows with songs and puppets.
