About Isabelle Blanche
Written and performed by Isabelle Blanche, Shatter Resistant is a darkly comic one-woman show about the frustrations of modern life. Thirty-year-old Cassie has just lost her job to an AI chatbot and finds her life imploding from every angle — crappy jobs, terrible dates and psycho flatmates. Forced on an odyssey of self-discovery, Cassie begins to question why she can't say no. Knock after knock, the cracks begin to show. Performed at Sprout Studio, the show runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for those aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharply observed dark comedy about someone trying to hold it together when everything is falling apart. Cassie's predicament — losing her job to an AI chatbot, bad dates, worse flatmates — will feel uncomfortably familiar.
