  Tickets for Rowling In It: Villain In Progress

  When everyone’s already cast you as the villain, you might as well enjoy being bad. Once upon a time, award winning but completely unknown actress Laura Kay Bailey headed to the Edinburgh Fringe to play the theater world’s most hated public figure: J.K. Rowling. The show she performed in had Edinburgh “running scared” (Telegraph): the backstage chaos was unscripted and the death threats real. The New York Times was in the audience. No one had packed extra Valium. Direct from London, Rowling In It: Villain In Progress is Laura’s story: a wickedly funny solo hour about artistic ambition, public outrage and finding your feet after spectacular failure. In a "tour de force performance" (ReviewsGate), Bailey takes aim at J.K. Rowling's tweets, performative activism, and a theatre industry that can turn a short supply of oat milk into a moral crisis. For fans of The Play That Goes Wrong, The Book of Mormon, Fleabag and Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic. Written and performed by Laura Kay Bailey Directed by Dominic Shaw (Associate Director of The Devil Wears Prada ) Produced by Hannah Elsy Productions (Co-Producer of The Ask at Theatre 555) Dramaturgy by Jordan S.
