Ever looked back on the dumb things you thought as a teenager and cringed? Of course you have. And now’s your chance to laugh at someone else’s misfortunes – a new solo show by Tiffany Rhodes
The year is 2007. Floppy fringes are all the rage, sexy vampires are everywhere, and 11-year-old Tiff is furiously scribbling in her diary. About music, about boys, and about all the things that confuse and frustrate her.
Fast-forward to 2025. Armed with that same diary, grown-up Tiff is still confused and frustrated, but now she understands the world (and herself) a little better. Join her for this hilarious and harrowing glimpse into the mind of a teenage goth. Expect noughties nostalgia, poorly aged jokes and a whole lot of teen angst.
Tiffany Rhodes in collaboration with Apricity Theatre tell a story that many of us growing up in the time of Motorola Razrs and blow up sofas will recognise. One of media misogyny, impossible body standards, and the age old question – are My Chemical Romance goth or emo? Add in the stress of growing up queer and neurodivergent in a world of maths homework and causal homophobia and its easy to see why some of us might need have some unpacking to do.
“Deeply personal and painfully universal.”
