About Lily Maryon
Princess Sparkles is the debut solo show from Lily Maryon, performing at Wee Container 1 at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Maryon plays a professional princess-for-hire who is very available, a teeny bit unstable, and just that little bit too much. Flustered and running late to a five-year-old's birthday party, Sparkles fights to hold herself and the party together as her costume — and composure — come apart. The audience is cast in the role of the children. A 60-minute character comedy with a theatrical twist, rated 16+ with audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
Lily Maryon's debut puts the audience right in the middle of the chaos — you're the children at the party as a princess on the edge tries desperately to keep it together. Unhinged character comedy with a theatrical heart.
