Stella

Stella is a high-octane, one-act comedy that brings to life the whirlwind journey of a young woman navigating her early twenties in and around the vibrant streets of Liverpool. Written by Robert Farquhar and performed by the dynamic Kalli Tant, this fast-paced solo show is a masterclass in multi-rolling, with the actor seamlessly portraying everyone from family to strangers—each character adding depth and complexity to Stella's world.

Stella is a sharp-witted, restless soul, trapped in a turbulent relationship with her distant father and a constant search for meaning. Her inability to say no often lands her in absurd and chaotic situations, while her tough exterior masks a deeper vulnerability. Set against the backdrop of Liverpool's bustling cityscape, the play moves through lively scenes that highlight both her independence and isolation. With relentless energy, Stella questions life, love, and her own identity, all while refusing to settle.

Directed by Chris Tomlinson, Stella is a compelling exploration of youth, self-discovery, and the fierce drive to keep going, no matter what. Wildly funny, brutally honest, and relentlessly real, Stella is a show that gurantees to keep you laughing and gasping in equal measure!
