The absurdly hilarious Fringe hit KAREN transfers to The Other Palace
KAREN will return to The Other Palace in March 2025, following an incredible reception with sell-out runs across the country including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and London. Centred around a storm of heartbreak, this uproariously funny show tackles the internal turmoil of the Protagonist as she journeys through a chaos-filled office narrative. Shattering the fourth wall, as well as all professional conduct, this critically acclaimed hit follows an unceremonious birthday break-up where the Protagonist’s ex-partner is found to be dating her office nemesis: Karen.
A bold one-woman production, fuelled by pent up rage, awkward encounters and a healthy dose of sarcasm, KAREN is brought to life by Sarah Cameron-West (Anansi Boys, Amazon Prime; Walk Home, Josie Copeland). This thrilling show breaks through the polite silence, and instead invites you on a whirlwind journey of rollercoaster emotions, workplace politics, relationships, and a spontaneous identity crisis.
An office affair that breaks the camel’s back, KAREN unleashes feminine rage in a whirlwind of repressed outrage following the ultimate betrayal. Cameron-West’s script uncovers the empowerment of owning your emotions that allows you to find peace, whilst also presenting a side-splittingly entertaining performance.
Directed by Evie Ayres-Townshend (Fox, Drops and Panda Pops, Omnibus Theatre; Contact, Golden Goose Theatre), Cameron-West presents a modern-day Bridget Jones (A Young-ish Perspective) which is not to be missed.
