Description

Life is awful. Ever wished you could split yourself in half and do everything? What if you actually could? Being Henrietta is a hilarious, coming-of-age story capturing the wild fear and confusion of being in your twenties. Two best friends declare they are sick of not catching a break, so one drunken evening they find a creative solution. They cut their losses and decide to live one incredible life instead. Beginning life again, together, as Henrietta. This bizarre and chaotic show features new Scottish talent, written and performed by professional actors, losers, and best friends.

Cleverly written and slickly performed.

If there's one show to see at the fringe this year it's Being Henrietta, absolutely fantastic writing and an amazing performance from both actors, what a brilliant debut from Ten Malcolm, see it while you can!!

Very funny and silly show about two girls navigating the world and trying to find a shortcut through the difficulties of life. Managed to remain light and jovial through the entire show, with both actors absolutely sparkling on the stage!
