An Edinburgh preview work-in progress solo character comedy show by Lily Maryon, co-produced by Stepping Out Theatre, directed by Holly Meechan
Princess Sparkles is a professional princess for hire. Appearing at a five-year-old’s birthday party somewhere near you, she’s a little unstable, very available and just that little bit too much… She’s eager to share with children the joys of life through a Disney filter. However, a tad flustered and running late, it appears more than her costume may be coming apart at the seams…
In Lily Maryon’s improv-driven, character comedy feminist satire she portrays a complex and increasingly jaded performer, struggling to separate life from work. Transported to a chaotic but fun-filled birthday party, the audience can expect a burst of high energy and interaction, with games, magic and stories galore, but beware… this aint Elsa.
There will be original music, comedy, improvised storytelling and audience interaction.
