Description

'One day a family burned inside a house behind me and then I ate a chimichanga.'

Stacey Gross is a California weather girl. An underpaid harbinger of our coming extinction.

But today, her regular routine of wildfires, Prosecco and teeth whitening descends into a scorched earth catastrophe, before she discovers something that will save us all.

A dizzying rampage into the warped soul of America, Weather Girl is a blistering dark comedy about wrecking the places we love. It was first performed by Julia McDermott at Summerhall during the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Tyne Rafaeli and produced by Francesca Moody Productions, winning an Edinburgh Fringe First Award, the 2024 Popcorn Writing Award and a Summerhall Lustrum Award.

Reviews

'A firecracker script... stupendous... electrifying... as good as solo shows get in Edinburgh'

* WhatsOnStage *

'A breathtakingly intense five star show... searing... veers between the wildly comic, the poignant and the utterly horrifying... speaks the brutal truth about the world we now face, and does so in brilliantly theatrical and gripping style'

* Scotsman *

'Spot-on... a smart, sharp one-woman show that looks set to follow the same gilded path as Fleabag and Baby Reindeer... features the same edgy atmosphere of darkness and growing unease beneath its anti-comic surface'

* The Times *

'The hottest ticket at this year's Fringe... unsettling and thrillingly crafted... deftly moves between darkly comic and nightmarishly earnest'

* Time Out *

'An apocalyptic comedy that gives a chilling forecast for a burning planet'

* Guardian *

'The laughs keep coming... as weird as anything in the Phoebe Waller-Bridge stable... a piece that pushes way past the familiar comfort-zone of a modern-day confessional and turns into a topical vision of humanity wilting amid encroaching climate change... What begins as a whip-smart evocation of typical corporate hell journeys into an apocalyptic landscape that's at once meteorologically plausible and a manifestation of existential break-down'

* Telegraph *

'A twisty unsettling thriller... Beyond the toxic smoke there's a magical, almost naive, sense of hope'

* Fest Mag *

'A sell-out sensation that certainly meets expectations... a blistering dark comedy... a masterclass in storytelling... gripping, moving and unexpected... Weather Girl will undoubtedly be a Netflix hit like Baby Reindeer'

* West End Best Friend *

'Emotional, environmental, and existential crises collide in a whirlwind hour... a compelling piece of theatre that delivers on multiple fronts'

* Broadway Baby *


Awards

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
