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.
"'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'"
