Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon

And I think you can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to see in you.

She was a 17 year old girl; the only God she believed in was Taylor Swift.

After her sister’s untimely death by a Yorkshire Pudding, a funny teenage misfit begrudgingly joins a flailing scout group to help her navigate the kicks and punches of adolescence with varying degrees of success.

Rosie Day’s debut play Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon is a rollercoaster ride through youth. Whether you are a young person, know a young person, or simply were a young person once - it’s time to rip up the rule book and reconnect with your younger self.

This edition was published to coincide with the production which opened at the West End’s Garrick Theatre in March 2024.

Rosie Day’s roles in the Golden Globe-nominated Outlander, All Roads Lead to Rome, Down a Dark Hall, and Living the Dream have earned her recognition as a Screen International Star of Tomorrow and InStyle BAFTA Rising Star. In 2019, she appeared in Roy Williams’ The Fellowship and wrote and directed her debut short Tracks the following year. Rosie’s one-woman show Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon gained rave reviews and nominations, inspiring her to pen her eponymous 2021 non-fiction and a soon-to-be TV adaptation.
