About the Show

Living in a box is hard. Abbey knows. She’s tried. But now, Abbey is sick and tired of her box! It’s kept her locked up for 30 years, and it’s ready to explode! Abbey Glover’s debut solo show centers on a young woman determined to break free from her box, be herself, and find love. ‘Full of charm and a delight to watch…Abbey is a kooky characterful narrator whose wry take on relationships wouldn’t be out of place in either a Greta Gerwig film or the Peanuts comic strip’ **** (The Scotsman). 

Fresh off an OffFest-nominated run at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, Abbey’s Box is ‘an empowering hour…doused in light-hearted humor’ **** (EdFringeReview) that left critics ‘spellbound’ **** (Get Your Coats On) and ‘mesmerized’ ***** (Mumble Theatre). ‘A playful, poetic and poignant solo show exploring relatable topics through a refreshing new lens’ **** (Broadway World) that is ‘just such a gem’ (Get Your Coats On).


Artist Biography

Abbey Glover is a San Francisco-based writer, storyteller, and solo performer. Her work is anchored in a desire to say the things that she thinks and feels but has been scared to say out loud for fear of shame, embarrassment, or rejection. Abbey’s Box is her first solo show, which she premiered at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland to critical acclaim, including receiving four stars from The Scotsman and Broadway World and an OffFest nomination.
