The
Story

Dear Annie, I Hate You is the wickedly funny, multimedia exploration of what happens when life takes an unexpected turn, and all you can do is laugh. Hailed as “Masterly” by The Stage and based on a true story, this award-winning show arrives in London this May after a critically acclaimed, packed-out run at the Fringe. Sharp, unpredictable, and unexpectedly uplifting, it dares you to find both comedy and comfort in the chaos of the unknown.

​

This bold run at Riverside Studios pushes the story even further with Director and Dramaturg James Meteyard (WILDCARD) and Olivier-nominated Sound Designer Dan Balfour. Catch this strictly limited season while you can...
