‘Naylor writes with a poet’s ear for rhythm and timing, and delivers with a stand-up’s comic timing’ – Irish Times
‘Brave, funny, tough and beautiful writing’ - The Guardian
One day, a magpie comes into a little girl’s house by mistake. It decides it likes her. She spends the next twenty-five years trying to get away from it.
Stop Trying to be Fantastic is a story about suffering, saviour-complex, self-acceptance, and a magpie who refuses to quit.
From award-winning writer/performer Molly Naylor (Whenever I Get Blown Up I Think Of You, Sky One’s After Hours) comes this lyrical and funny spoken-word show that explores what we owe to each other and what we owe to ourselves.
It’s an anti self-help show... that might actually help.
