  • More about Lady Dealer


Lady Dealer is a one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress that premiered during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, exploring forgiveness, exhaustion, and self-destruction.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 64 pages
Publication date: 10 August 2023
Publisher: Nick Hern Books


For Charly, every day is a monotonous repetition. In the past, things were different when Clo was present, but now Clo is no longer part of her life, and Charly prefers not to dwell on the past. Her simple existence revolves around consuming coffee, listening to the Beastie Boys, and engaging in drug transactions. It's a straightforward routine that satisfies her.

However, when Charly experiences a power outage, she is abruptly thrust back into the realm of mundane existence. She finds herself surrounded by imitation Morrisseys, disapproving mothers, and a world that she must navigate on her own.

Lady Dealer, a one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress, explores themes of forgiveness, the weariness of striving, and the misperception of self-destruction as self-preservation. It premiered during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe at Paines Plough's Roundabout.

Through the rapid-fire delivery of her words, Allpress captures the essence of Charly's existence, her struggles, and her search for meaning amidst the chaos. The play is a powerful exploration of the human condition, offering a glimpse into the complexities of life and the resilience of the human spirit.
