Ade is a successful writer, or so it seems. She has everything she ever wanted: her career is flying, she’s (kinda) moved out of her mum’s house, and her situationship isn’t as complicated as she expected. Her life should be perfect! But things don’t always go to plan, as Ade is about to find out…

Written and performed by Yolanda Mercy, it premiered at Summerhall as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, co-directed with Joseph Barnes-Phillips.
