Written by and starring Sabrina – who is the Creative in Residence 2011 for Theatre & Poetry at The Hospital Club and a playwright with the Old Vic New Voices TS Eliot Award in New York -  and directed by multiple award-winning director and actor David Schwimmer the show deals with strippers, drug dealers and dinner parties in Ladbroke Grove.

Having been developed with High Tide Genesis Lab, Dry Ice enjoyed sold-out previews at New Wimbledon Studio in April and is now running at Underbelly with revised and remixed movements, music and magical moments.

Sabrina performs in her unique style to bring us Nina, a 24-year-old stripper on the edge; her half-art-half-drug dealing boyfriend and 18 other eccentrically entertaining characters from the world of surreal, sleazy, velvety strip-clubs and gentrified London dinner parties.

Sabrina worked in strip-clubs for  five years. But Dry Ice is not (just) a strip club exposé. It’s a story of a young girl trying to find her place in the world and so it becomes about reality; illusion; hope; disappointment; sex; power and the voyeur in all of us.

If you’re going to Edinburgh, this is one show that you don’t want to miss – Sabrina is going to be huge so catch her on the cusp of stardom.

I'll go anywhere. I like to think that I'm a pretty good map reader ( not everyone would agree ) but then I remind them that I navigated my way around the Paris one-way system with NO mistakes. High Class or Common or Garden? High class in the garden. Clothes or Culture? Culture in new clothes. My best night out ever made me feel....... That things would never be the same again. And they surely weren't the following day.
