How do you find a new 'once upon a time' after the 'happy ever after' never turned up? Victoria is on a quest to discover how you make a new life when you can't have the one you imagined. In this big-hearted, big-thinking show of storytelling and physical comedy our heroine's mid-life search for joy, identity and belonging features public displays of playfulness, private truths and sheer bloody mindedness. Join Victoria as she asks - what do you do with the rest of your life when you don't have kids?

The shows serious about accentuating the positives
Perhaps sensing that the news agenda has taken a dark turn, a number of shows are serious about accentuating the positive, writes David Pollock.
David Pollock, The Scotsman, 13th August 2018Interview: Victoria Firth
Victoria Firth is currently up at The Edinburgh Fringe with her solo show How to be Amazingly Happy, which is all about finding a new 'once upon a time' after the 'happy ever after' fails to turn up. In a world where we are geared and primed to 'get married' and 'have kids' from the get go, she is asking some big questions around what happens when that doesn't happen. It's an important topic and one that isn't discussed enough, so we were thrilled to run an interview with Victoria about the creation and inspiration behind this solo piece.
Amie Spudge Taylor, The LGBTQ Arts Review, 12th August 2018Victoria Firth interview
We were intrigued by both the show - How To Be Amazingly Happy - and the journey Victoria has taken in creating it. Which meant we just had to ask some questions.
Chris Cooke, ThreeWeeks, 4th August 2018+3 interview: How to Be Amazingly Happy!
"I'm the Director of the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield and so I usually come to choose show's to bring back to the venue. This year I'll be hoping people choose me!"
