This Is How I Got Arrested...

Sophie is just a girls girl... Or is she... Or has she taken the phrase "girls just wanna have fun" too far.

In this bold, colourful and darkly hilarious solo show, Sophie recounts her journey from a challenging upbringing to a chaotic holiday gone wrong that ends with her being arrested abroad. Or does it? Through tales of wild nights, questionable choices and ulterior motives, she invites the audience to question what's real and what's performance.

Exploring themes of toxic femininity, substance use, violence and sexual experience, the story delves into what it means to be tough and a girl, and the stories we tell ourselves to get there. As the clock ticks before Sophie's next big show (her court appearance), her narrative becomes increasingly unreliable, keeping the audience guessing until the very end.

This interactive performance breaks the fourth wall, blending humour with hard-hitting truths. Its a relatable and thought-provoking experience for anyone who's ever danced through drama, laughed through pain, or wondered what really happened that night in Magaluf.

Content Warnings: Strong language, reference to drug and alcohol use, depictions of violence, and sexual content.
