Maggie is the girl whose life you love to hate, as she sifts effortlessly through South America on the back of her successful travel blog. Except for the fact that Maggie is an agoraphobic failed Journalism graduate hiding in her bedroom in Rathmines for the past year having moved from Cork to try break Dublin. Surviving on Tesco home delivery and working as an online GAA content curator for Balls.ie, she has her family and friends fooled to believe she is living her best global life, all the while living within the same four walls. But tonight, an interrupted Maggie must weather through the unexpected storm of existentialism amidst a quarter life identity crisis.

A comedic, all-baring glance into the mind of an introverted extrovert desperate for a connection when the power goes and the world she exists in disappears.

We are presenting it for SHOW in its simplest form, with minimal lighting and voiceover features. 

Storyhorse intend to bring this show to Cork and Dublin in 2020 for a full run, as well as to Edinburgh Fringe in August 2020.
