Erica Plays Mr Waddiger
Jambourine Theatre • Student/Youth company
About the show
Erica Plays Mr Waddiger is a split-stage, show-cestuous comedy by Jambourine Theatre about performing under impossible circumstances. When the other lead fails to show up, Erica must step in last-minute — all while navigating a tangled web involving her ex-lesbian-situationship-turned-close-friend's new girlfriend, a cheating scandal, and a kiss that must stay secret. A new writing LGBTQ+ theatre piece for ages fourteen and over, described as a hilarious spoof on theatre itself that is delightfully ludicrous.
Why see this show?
A sharply written backstage comedy that finds genuine warmth within its delightfully chaotic premise. Jambourine Theatre's flair for theatrical self-awareness makes this fifty-minute show one of the fresher new writing pieces at the Fringe.
