It runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over, and tickets are £10.50.
Why see this show?
A dark comedy about the collision of celebrity obsession and genuine feeling — Jenny's conviction that she and her A-List idol are meant to be makes for unsettling, sharply written theatre.
