Weather Girl

'One day a family burned inside a house behind me and then I ate a chimichanga.' Stacey Gross is a California weather girl. An underpaid harbinger of our coming extinction. But today, her regular routine of wildfires, Prosecco and teeth whitening descends into a scorched earth catastrophe, before she discovers something that will save us all. A dizzying rampage into the warped soul of America, Weather Girl is a blistering dark comedy about wrecking the places we love. It was first performed by Julia McDermott at Summerhall during the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Tyne Rafaeli and produced by Francesca Moody Productions, winning an Edinburgh Fringe First Award, the 2024 Popcorn Writing Award and a Summerhall Lustrum Award.
