The smash-hit returns - bolder, stranger, and more unflinching than ever.

Based on Sam Ipema's real-life diagnosis at 20, Dear Annie, I Hate You is a darkly funny, sharply honest story about survival, memory, and the long road back to finding yourself.

Hailed as 'masterly' (Stage) and shortlisted for BBC Popcorn New Writing Award 2024

 

At 20, Sam's life is all forward motion - until the arrival of an unexpected companion changes everything. What begins as a normal day unravels into something stranger, darker and impossible to ignore. Years later, Sam reconstructs the story: rewiring memories, retracing her past, and trying to find the place where everything fell apart. But Annie, her unwelcome counterpart, has another plan in mind. 

Directed by James Meteyard (ELECTROLYTE - Pleasance 2018; WILDCARD Theatre) with Sound Design by Olivier-nominee Dan Balfour (Dear England; Vanya)
