Playworn
Ever wonder if every decision you’ve ever made was a mistake? I do. Almost constantly.
At 36, I find myself in the spare room of my parents house, single, and drowning in 7000 miniature toy cars, flogging them to strange men on the internet who regret their choices as much as I do. And I’m about to find out just how short life is.
A darkly funny, painfully honest one woman show that dives into the things we thought we’d be by now and the reality of what we’ve become.
