ROOMIES

Edinburgh 2026

Who are you when everything you were suddenly gets taken away? Sophie was once a Los Angeles it-girl, living a life of enviable, aspirational chaos. Now on the eve of her 30th birthday, she's stuck in a treatment facility with only one VIP on the birthday party guest list: her 18-year-old schizophrenic roommate Molly. ROOMIES is a darkly funny solo show based on a true story about friendship, identity and the fragile line between control and collapse, where glamour, madness and survival all crash the same table. Written and performed by Julia Stephens (Really It's Rita, Ctrl+Alt+Underground).
