Service Please

July 6 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
£12

Lara, a hopeful but insecure creative writing graduate, is trying to write the next best-selling fantasy romance novel. There’s only one thing standing in her way: her casual waitressing job that keeps the money coming in.

Unprepared for the stressful and chaotic reality of working in the service industry, can Lara keep her sanity and get her big writing break, or will she crumble under the pressure of under-staffed shifts, creepy comments and customers who say their only food allergies are women…?

A sharp and pacy monologue served up with humour and honesty.

Service Please is the debut play from North Yorkshire-based actor and director Connie Peel. Connie champions female voices and diverse working-class stories in her written work. She has worked as an assistant director for York-based companies Badapple Theatre and Next Door But One.

“Heart-breaking and unflinchingly relatable” The Nerd Party
