Queen of The Empire

Sasha Snowdon

Drinking, dancing and debauchery – just another night at The Middlesbrough Empire! And Lizzie, Boro's resident party girl, loves nothing more than a wild night out. But behind the dresses, drunks and drama, her family fractures under the weight of a devastating illness. When Lizzie is ultimately forced to face her reality, is it all too late? Queen of the Empire is a tale of grief, addiction and what it means to be a sister. Darkly entertaining and based on a true story, Sasha Snowdon's Fringe debut promises laughter, complexity, and a cheeky little dance.
