This Is How I Got Arrested (after smuggling drugs across the border but never actually getting caught with any drugs) at ZOO (Playground 3), High School Yard, Edinburgh

Written, performed and produced by Azaelia Slade, this is a raw, funny and unflinching exploration of working-class life told against the pressure of a ticking clock, in which lies unravel, truths emerge and mischief escalates into madness. At the centre is Sophie, a witty and thick-skinned young woman whose search for belonging, excitement and escape leads her down increasingly dangerous paths, as parties, drugs and distractions become coping mechanisms and the perfect image she has constructed begins to unravel. Drawing on her own lived experience, Slade has created a character who feels authentic and recognisable, combining humour, misdirection and sharp storytelling to tackle serious themes. The show is directed by Jess Gough.
