60 minutesMaggie's Chamber
This play is based on the experiences of the playwright who, whilst working in an office between acting jobs, began to question why people get stuck in jobs and relationships they are unhappy in and begin to believe there is no way out. One day she went to lunch, and as she stood in the queue at the bagel shop, she realised she wasn't going back. After ending up in India and getting sober, she began writing the play exploring these themes through the eyes of an angel.

About the show

Gabriele Productions presents this semi-autobiographical play at Maggie's Chamber. Based on the experiences of the playwright, the piece asks why people get stuck in jobs and relationships they are unhappy in. One day, standing in the queue at a bagel shop during a lunch break, she realised she wasn't going back — a moment that led her to India and sobriety. The play explores these themes through the eyes of an angel. Running 60 minutes and suitable for audiences aged 14 and over, the show contains distressing themes and strong language. Tickets are priced at £2.50.

Why see this show?

A personal and imaginative piece that looks at the moment someone simply stops going back — to the job, the relationship, the life they've outgrown. Told through an angel's perspective, it's a thoughtful and quietly unusual Fringe offering at a very accessible price.
