Bride Thompson has always known that as soon as she finds the man of her dreams, walks down the aisle and marries him, everything else will fall into place. But now that she's engaged, why can't she leave her weirdness behind? What exactly is she doing with three anonymous Instagram accounts? And why can't she come out of her cupboard? Sad Bride is a queer dark comedy solo show by Charlotte Merriam about compulsory heterosexuality, the wedding industrial complex, and what happens when you meet the 'one' but are still an online troll under a bridge.
