Miss-trusted. Miss-treated. Miss you. Welcome to a miss-spent youth. Eileen's sister just died while eating a Yorkshire pudding. Ironic as she rarely eats; well, ate. Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon is a call to arms for young women everywhere, and questions why society isn't watching out for our girls as they navigate fading friendships, f**ked up families and forging a trail through adolescence.
Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon had a sell-out preview run at the Old Red Lion Theatre in February 2020, and subsequent performances at the Barn Theatre's first Summer outdoor theatre festival, BarnFest in August 2020.
Rosie Day said, "I'm so delighted to be bringing Teenage Armageddon to Southwark Playhouse, we wanted to put teenage girls at the forefront of British theatre but also create an experience that audience members of all ages could relate to, enjoy and hopefully come away feeling empowered.''
In October, Day's debut book Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon a nonfiction guide for teenage girls to survive and thrive in their adolescence was published by leading publisher Hachette.
Screen International Star of Tomorrow, and Instyle BAFTA Rising Star, Rosie Day's stage credits include Again and The Girl Who Fell, both at Trafalgar Studios, Spur of the Moment at Royal Court, Velocity at Finborough Theatre, My White Best Friend (and Other Letters Left Unsaid) at The Bunker Theatre, and A Winter's Tale at The National Theatre.

Amongst her many TV credits Day has starred in the Golden Globe nominated Outlander, as well as Living The Dream and Urban Myths both for Sky, Good Omens for BBC and Prime Suspect 1973 for ITV.
Theatre director Georgie Staight's work focuses on developing the most exciting new voices across the UK. Staight's credits include A Christmas Carol and D-Day75 for the Watermill Theatre, Queen Mab at Iris Theatre, Chutney at the Bunker, Into the Numbers and Dubailand for Finborough Theatre, White Light at the Arcola, and Roosting for the Park Theatre.
