KAREN Tickets at The Other Palace Theatre

Returning to London’s West End this spring following an acclaimed debut last year, don’t miss this bold one-woman production, fuelled by pent up rage, awkward encounters and a healthy dose of sarcasm. Get ready for a comic emotional rollercoaster as our heroine faces office hell when her ex starts dating her arch-nemesis: Karen. Described as ‘the female Peep Show’, KAREN will whisk you through a hilarious chaos filled story written and performed by Sarah Cameron-West.

Seamlessly breaking the fourth wall, watch our Protagonist navigate a powder keg of heartbreak and identity crisis, exploding in the ultimate office showdown. Book your tickets to KAREN and enjoy this battle of self-discovery that will leave you in stitches!

KAREN plays a limited run at The Other Palace Theatre from 18 – 23 March 2024.

We open on Protagonist’s 30th birthday at the Alton Towers, where her life takes an unexpected turn. Mid-calippo, she’s unceremoniously dumped by her long-term partner, Joe. Little does she know, this is just the beginning. Protagonist soon navigates through office hell as Joe starts dating her arch-nemesis: Karen. It’s a perfect storm of heartbreak, societal pressures, and an identity crisis that threatens to engulf her.

The final straw unleashes an explosive office showdown, where our Protagonist finally finds her voice. Through laughter, tears, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Protagonist learns the invaluable lesson that the path to healing lies in moving through the pain, not around it, and in the empowerment of owning one’s emotions that allows you to find peace.
