Do You Know Where To Go From Here?
(Works-in-Progress 2023)
A solo show about navigating loss and uncertainty, and finding a way through.
*
Do You Know Where To Go From Here? is a coming-of-age story about a young woman navigating loss and uncertainty. Disarmingly honest and based on real events, this is a story about reframing our way of being in this modern world and living well in times of change. It was as part of the ‘Shape of Things to Come’ lineup at Camden People’s Theatre’s SPRINT Festival 2023, playing to a sold-out audience on 16th March 2023 at 7:30 pm in the theatre’s Main Space.
Praise from the Audience:
‘Painfully relatable.’
‘Very emotional and funny.’
'Beautiful storytelling with the perfect balance of vulnerability and humour.’
‘I laughed, I cried, I felt so seen. 10/10 would recommend.’

New scenes were presented at Rose Bruford College’s 2023 Symposium, a student-led news works festival. The sharing took place in April 2023 at The Barn Theatre, featuring live music accompaniment by Victoria Rose Ríos.
Synopsis
Sophie wakes up in a strange space under a giant mound of clothes. There is no way out, no one able to help, and God is nowhere to be found. In an attempt to escape, she does the only thing she knows best: tidying up.
In the process, she comes face to face with old wounds regarding love, loss, and everything in between. In this sea of clutter, will she manage to find a lifeline?
