15 year-old Mary has no discernible talent but she can’t ignore the glaring signs. When a TikTok influencer comes to her school, Mary knows she is destined for greatness. By the age of 23, she will make it to the top. No matter the cost. Centre of the Universe is a laugh out loud search for meaning in a success-obsessed society.

Led by the signs she believes she is receiving from the Universe, Mary forges her own path to greatness. From hosting her own funeral to dropping out of school to cleaning bins and making love to her anger, there is nothing Mary isn’t ready to do to prove herself. But at what cost?

Centre of the Universe invites audiences to look outwards and question what we value as success. Centre of the Universe will be a part of the Summerhall programme at Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
