WHO TO CALL WHEN THE WORLD STARTS TO IMPLODE

(AND YOU’RE CRYING AT TESCO AT 11AM)

“First, I want you to understand that this is not a love story.”

From the moment Isabel, a Turkish international student who is a bundle of nerves, laid her eyes on Sophie, the most carefree, carpe-diem person you’ll ever meet, everything changed. Anyone who sees these unlikely people together would think they were best friends. But when feelings start to emerge, and boundaries get blurry, even music can’t save this sinking ship.

Who to Call When the World Starts to Implode (and You’re Crying at Tesco at 11am) is a messy play full of music, ADHD fuelled word vomit, and a kiss that changed everything. Disclaimer: no keyboards were harmed in the making of this production.
