Edie

Details

Mum is the centre of Edie's universe. They've stuck together through thick and thin, as other family members abandoned them one by one. But after a terrible accident, Edie has to learn to function as an independent adult in a world that she severely dislikes. Edie tells the story of a 29-year-old (probably) neurodivergent woman, who is torn between adoration for her controlling Mum and the urge to escape their shared home. The play explores dysfunctional families, the absurdities of adulting, and the experience of living in a society that will never adjust to you. It's also a play that asks, who do you blame and what does that say about you?
