This hilariously tender tale follows Shy Girl’s ambitious attempt to open up (emotionally, spiritually,… physically) to expand her social life beyond the feeble realm of her imaginary friends and find real human connection. After sell-out runs in New York, this beloved show will have Edinburgh audiences laugh, cry and say bye bye to shy.
Wyld Woman, written and performed by Isabel Renner and directed by Cameron King, is the story of Shy Girl as she eagerly prepares for the arrival of her first friends ever. And not just any friends. We’re talking legends – who are due to arrive at her apartment in just under an hour. All that’s left to do is remedy the simple fact that she does not know how to talk to other people. Thus begins a practice conversation, complete with index card prompts written by her (child) therapist.
