Amy is just like everybody else. She goes to high school, listens to Ed Sheeran and has a great (mostly-great) group of friends. She also has a secret friend; an unwelcome ‘tag-along’ who follows her everywhere. Her Fretty Friend, as she calls him. Some days she can almost ignore him. Other days he affects every area of her life.

Loud noises will suddenly make her uncomfortable. Social events will make her heart race. Some nights she has difficulty sleeping, yet most mornings she can’t even get out of bed.

Amy’s friend is called Anxiety, and he seems to be here to stay.

Exploring the often unseen issues facing today’s youth, My Fretty Friend aims to offer a new take on mental health. Delivered by two performers playing a host of characters and inspired by real-life stories, this new play furthers the dialogue for those struggling with anxiety and/or depression. My Fretty Friend will inspire and entertain audiences while delivering a powerful and uplifting message. A memorable experience that all teens should see.
