What does it mean to be an adult and when do you become one?

Alicia is a hot mess. She doesn't know what she's doing with her life. Swiping left, swiping right to find the perfect match. Even though she's a Londoner, born and bred, the scent of Lagos peppers her existence in 'the ends'.

Everyone around her seems to know where they're going in life, but she's just trying to find ways to cheat growing up and keep her 16-25 railcard.

This funny and well-observed one-woman show explores the contradictions faced by young people when the markers of 'growing up - having a career, a relationship and independence - are difficult to achieve. It also offers insight into life as a second generation migrant living in London, and highlights issues such as immigration, race and the expectations placed on young women today.

Quarter Life Crisis had its full production premiere at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2017, where it was described by The Stage as a vibrant storytelling show about life as a young black Londoner.
