This was promising - after all, immersive theatre is inherently ripe for endless stories. And the author obviously loves the idea of it, spending page after page describing every detail. But I'm not a visual person and all that worldbuilding didn't necessarily progress the (ultimately very confusing) plot or make the dopey main character any less annoying. As with the otherwise very different Life of Zanna, an unsympathetic protagonist needs to have something for you to root for, but this one just kept running back to trouble and spurning potential friends for no good reason. And it needed a better edit - I started playing 'the older woman' - and, later, 'the other girl' - bingo. It's so distracting not to use the character's name or 'her'.
