Meet Dolly: a potty-mouth, chain-smoking toy doll. She can sing, dance, throw a tea party like a bitch - literally, anything! Except, that is, the one thing she wants most in the world. Dolly can't die. A victim of Cameron's Britain, this doll is done playing nice. Presenting first world problems in an imaginary world this offbeat comedy - through music, storytelling and stand-up - explores the peril of entering adulthood and the absolute ball ache of being alive. Written/performed by Helen Monks (Channel 4's Raised by Wolves). Developed with The Lowry & Barnsley Civic.

Helen Monks takes the Fringe route to world domination
The story of how Helen Monks ended up playing a fictional version of a teenage Caitlin Moran in TV sitcom Raised By Wolves is pretty well known by now. It's the one about how student fan-girl Monks went to a book-signing by the best selling author of How To Be A Woman, whose journalistic career began aged sixteen after winning a newspaper competition. During the event Moran let slip that she was writing a semi autobiographical show with her sister Caroline, and when she went up to get her book signed, Monks suggested that she could play her.
