In PurSUEt
'Timely, hilarious and poignant, In PurSUEt was one of the finest one-actor shows I've seen' ★★★★★ (Lothian Life)​.
​​
Woman is sat in a therapist's office. She's been sent there to deal with her drink problem. But she doesn't have a problem and she doesn't need therapy. She just needs Sue Perkins. They're meant for each other. If only Sue could see that too. But how can she? She's too busy being a celebrity. So 'Woman' sets out in pursuit of her love. From following Sue's every move online, to breaking in backstage at the BBC, there isn't anything she won't do to get to her love. But can she keep it all together whilst battling her out of control drinking?
In PurSUEt is a fierce, heartfelt, LGBTQ+ tragi-comedy that was searing hit of the Fringe Theatre scene.
​
The show first debuted at the Edinburgh Festival in 2019 to sold-out audiences and returned in 2022 for a full run at Underbelly Cowgate, earning critical praise for its blend of dark humour and nuanced depiction of celebrity obsession. In PurSUEt then went on to have a sell-out run in Vault Festival 2023 and an ACE funded Nationwide Tour 2023/24. It has been lauded for its candid portrayal of mental health and substance misuse.
