Wild Geese Productions in association with HFH Productions presents Dear Annie, I Hate You, a darkly funny, sharply honest theatre piece based on playwright Sam Ipema's real-life diagnosis at age 20. A story about survival, memory and the long road back to finding yourself, the show returns to the Fringe bolder, stranger and more unflinching than before. It was shortlisted for the BBC Popcorn New Writing Award in 2024. Running 60 minutes at Pleasance Two, it is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Based on Sam Ipema's own experience, this dark comedy about survival and identity doesn't flinch — it returns to the Fringe sharper and stranger than ever. A genuinely affecting piece of new writing theatre at Pleasance Two.
