At the age of 26, Rosie Day has already spent 20 years performing on stage and on screen in a variety of roles. As well as being an actress, she has also recently discovered her love for directing and writing, creating works like Celaine andTracks. Most recently, she has written her own one-woman play Instructions For a Teenage Armageddon, a piece developed a few years ago as an ode to adolescence. The play has since spawned an acclaimed book of the same name, helping inspire and empower teenage girls. As a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, Rosie Day has continued to speak openly about the importance of spreading kindness in a world which can feel very unkind.   

After previewing her new play, Instructions For a Teenage Armageddon at the Old Red Lion Pub Theatre in 2020, she has now brought her one-woman show to Southwark Playhouse. In this interview, Rosie tells us about how the show has evolved since its conception and what its been like bringing the show to The Little at Southwark Playhouse. The play has received fantastic reviews so far and has connected with audiences of all backgrounds; young and old. Rosie also tells us about her upcoming film Midas Man and how she feels about playing Liverpudlian legend Cilla Black.  We hear her reflect over the last 20 years in show business and how she hopes to continue producing exciting work.

Instructions For a Teenage Armageddon runs at Southwark Playhouse until 5 March. Tickets available from https://www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/show-homepage/instructions-for-a-teenage-armageddon/
