Sarah Roberts: Scary Movie 7

Yanked from the womb after eating her twin, Sarah has been scouring the Earth for human connection ever since, only it hasn’t worked. She’s now in her thirties, she’s in debt, she’s living at her parents’ house. And she’s never not been dumped except for when she’s been ghosted.

In an age of parasocial relationships; building intimacy through screens, mistaking likes for love and conducting entire relationships through Instagram DMs, have we lost the art of human connection? Scary Movie 7 blends horror, absurdism and oversharing to explore how loneliness manifests both online and IRL, how fear can turn you into your own worst enemy, and whether we’re ever truly forgiven. Written and performed by a woman who has never gotten over anything ever.

Does Sarah have an ancient curse? Or must she face up to the terrifying possibility that the call is coming from inside the house? And, most crucially, can a room full of strangers finally give her the connection she’s been hunting for her entire life?

Key words: Stand up | Loneliness | Absurdism | Horror | Existential | Chronically online | Confessional
