Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny exploration of bathroom graffiti
The Writing on the Stall, Caitlin Cook’s hit bathroom graffiti musical, has quickly become a comedic, musical, and theatrical sensation, selling out several Off-Broadway runs, national tours, and most recently, the Edinburgh Fringe. Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom— transforms graffiti scrawled all over the stalls into the lyrics of her original songs and trail markers along the journey she takes us upon. Through these irreverent, poignant, and often obscene messages, Cook reckons with our shared humanity and what we owe each other. May include: slingshotted panties, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick
“After building bits and pieces of this show for years at past fringes and in front of UK audiences, it was so incredibly rewarding to return to a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and seven sold out shows in London last year—shows full of audiences singing along and lining up to talk to me for hours afterwards. I can’t wait to bring it back for a larger UK tour in 2025.”
