Rosie Day: Instructions For a Teenage Armageddon
At the age of 26, Rosie Day has already spent 20 years performing on stage and on screen in a variety of roles. As well as being an actress, she has also recently discovered her love for directing and writing, creating works like Celaine andTracks. Most recently, she has written her own one-woman play Instructions For a Teenage Armageddon, a piece developed a few years ago as an ode to adolescence. The play has since spawned an acclaimed book of the same name, helping inspire and empower teenage girls. As a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, Rosie Day has continued to speak openly about the importance of spreading kindness in a world which can feel very unkind.\xa0 \xa0
