Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon

In this comedic and sombre one-woman show, a wayward teenage girl joins a scout group in part to process her sister's untimely death due to anorexia.

And I think you can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to see in you. She was a 17 year old girl; the only God she believed in was Taylor Swift. After her sister’s untimely death by a Yorkshire Pudding, a funny teenage misfit begrudgingly joins a flailing scout group to help her navigate the kicks and punches of adolescence with varying degrees of success. Rosie Day’s debut play Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon is a rollercoaster ride through youth. Whether you are a young person, know a young person, or simply were a young person once – it’s time to rip up the rule book and reconnect with your younger self. This edition was published to coincide with the production which opened at the West End’s Garrick Theatre in March 2024.
