'This has never been done before. No person, no woman, no young woman has ever admitted to being the Centre of the Universe.' Fifteen year-old Mary has no discernible talent but she can't ignore the glaring signs that she is destined for greatness. When a TikTok influencer comes to her school, she embarks on a journey. By the age of twenty-three, she will make it to the top. No matter the cost. Centre of the Universe is a laugh-out-loud search for meaning in a success-obsessed society.

About the show

Centre of the Universe is a solo show and new writing piece from Trish Wadley Productions and Drama Queens Universe, performed at TechCube 0 at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Fifteen-year-old Mary has no discernible talent but cannot ignore what she sees as glaring signs she is destined for greatness. When a TikTok influencer arrives at her school, she embarks on a journey — and by the age of twenty-three, she will make it to the top, no matter the cost. This 60-minute laugh-out-loud comedy is a search for meaning in a success-obsessed society. Suitable for ages 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A sharply observed comedy about ambition and self-delusion in the age of social media. Mary's journey from fifteen to twenty-three is both recognisable and ridiculous in equal measure — ideal if you like your comedy with something to say.
