I Really Do Think This Will Change Your Life

This arresting debut play by award-winning writer Emma-Louise Howell (‘one of the undoubted stars of the future’- Broadway World) and directed by Hetty Hodgson (Associate ThickSkin’s Peak Stuff) returns to the Mercury following its 5 star, critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe.

A hair-pulling, fake-nail scratching, cat-fight against Rich Quick Scams and what it means to be a Girl Boss, this ‘technological whirlwind of a production’ (The Guardian) features bold, immersive video design in a fast-paced multi-disciplinary show that was a finalist for The Stage Innovation Award 2024.

Belles was the it-Girl, hip girl, oh-so-very-fit-girl.

When she was 17.

Now, she’s 24 and spends her days bossed about by her Mum and girls she 100% used to bully.

So, when a life-changing opportunity slides into her DMs, she carpes the diem, makes her millions and proves the worth of women one social media post at a time.

Except she doesn’t.

Because… come on.
