Following sell out runs at this year's Edinburgh Festival, and previously at Soho Theatre, Liz Kingsman's critically acclaimed One-Woman Show transfers to the West End for a strictly limited six-week run later this year.
Liz Kingsman said today, "No one is more surprised than I am that the theatre community continue to take this prank at face value. In saying that, I am beyond excited to bring the show to London's West End. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier."
Wessex Grove's Emily Vaughan-Barratt and Benjamin Lowy commented, "We are delighted to be transferring Liz's extraordinary hit into the West End later this year. What she has created is the perfect show - it's hysterical, powerful and incredibly clever. She is undoubtedly a major force and one we are proud to be collaborating with."

Described as "the greatest breakthrough show of the past 12 months" (The Times), One-Woman Show transfers to the West End for a strictly limited run later this year. A bold, irreverent, raw, moving and triumphant celebration of adjectives, this blurb will nail down nothing.
Trigger warning: contains blinding ambition.
