FRUITCAKE – An immersive story about burgeoning young love and the challenges of expeditious intimacy

What’s the best way to flirt with a uni crush?

  1. Ask for tutoring
  2. Watch weird movies
  3. Investigate their secret past
  4. All of the above

Find out in this queer coming of age mystery Fruitcake is a confident, funny, sexually driven person who has never needed anyone else. So why are they so drawn to the strange girl in her psychology subject?

This fun, one-woman-show follows Fruitcake, a first year university student who encounters an odd and fascinating classmate. Through a few strange interactions and a lot of misunderstandings they bond over weird movies, trashy cafes and not much studying.

But when the girl refuses to tell Fruitcake any details about her past, her personal life or even about her family things start to get murky But when the girl refuses to tell Fruitcake any details about her past, her personal life or even about her family things start to get murky.

This coming of age mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat as Fruitcake’s story cracks itself open.

Jaimee Doyle:

I think the show perfectly describes what it is like to be young, in love… and a little neuro divergent. I feel like this show will take the audience back to first love and all the complex emotions surrounding it, Learning how to flirt, communicate and how to build a strong relationship.

Fruitcake focuses on queer, fem, neuro divergent experiences in university, friendships and romantic relationships but is a joy for all to watch. This romantic mystery is sure to have you in awe, in love and confused while watching. You don’t want to miss out on this new and unique one-person show.
