This Is How I Got Arrested (after smuggling drugs across the border but never actually getting caught with any drugs) is a tightly structured, fourth wall breaking, hilarious, one-woman dark-comedy show. Meet Sophie, a working-class youngster, who takes the phrase 'girls just wanna have fun' a bit too far! What begins as a fast-paced account of her upbringing quickly spirals into a drug-fuelled escapade. Told under the pressure of a ticking timer, lies will unravel, truth will be revealed and mischief will mount into madness.
