Patricia Gets Ready (for a date with the man that used to hit her)

Description

Patricia has spent a year crafting a kick-ass speech while recovering from an abusive relationship. But when she bumps into her ex on the street and accidentally agrees to dinner with him that night, she’s got some big decisions to make; what to wear? What to say? And whether or not to go? Join Patricia as she gets ready for the date; tells stories of her past, how it has affected her present and looks honestly at her future. 

★★★★★ “Standout Show of Edfringe 2021.”

The Stage

★★★★★ “…The script is fantastic it’s witty, it’s aware, it’s deep, and it deals with a hard subject matter in a real and often humorous way without trivialising it.”

London Pub Theatre

★★★★★ “Under the direction of Kaleya Baxe, ‘Patricia’ is bold, funny (very funny) and sexually confident.”
