With a name like hers, Bride Thompson has always known that as soon as she finds the man of her dreams, walks down that aisle, and marries him, everything else will fall into place.
So now that she's engaged, everyone else wants to know, why has she moved into a cupboard? Is the girl who ate tamagotchis and coloured in her teeth finally about to put on a big white dress? And what exactly is she doing with three anonymous instagram accounts?
Through interviews with Bride's friends, family, and childhood pet rabbit, Sad Bride is a new dark solo comedy play by Charlotte Merriam (Writer/Actor) and Vickers (Director/Dramaturg), that explores the industrial wedding complex, compulsory heterosexuality, and what to do if you meet the 'one' but are still the troll under a bridge.

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
