Following the twice sold out success of award winning play ‘Traffic Light Party’, Jezebel Productions proudly returns to Sydney Fringe with a new darkly satirical play by Izzy Azzopardi.
Aspiring writer Mackenzie Mills is forced to reflect on her regrets and habits in what appears to be a therapy session—though something feels... off. Perhaps it’s the therapist figure Dorothy who constantly speaks in past-tense and refuses to let her leave. Ambiguous, and highly relatable, 'Sorry I’m Late' explores the fragility of time, the paralysis of self-doubt, and the numbing pull of digital distraction. At its heart, it grapples with and satirises the impossible expectations placed on women to "have it all" before 30—a deadline shaped by the ticking of a biological clock and a culture obsessed with youth, productivity, and visible success.Think 'No Exit' combined with 'Black Mirror' – 'Sorry I’m Late' is a 60 minute 2-hander, part sci-fi, part absurd comedy, part thrilling drama, with an ending you won’t see coming. If you like quirky theatre that makes you laugh, gasp and ponder on lingering questions, this play is unmissable! Committed to bold, provocative, and shameless storytelling, Jezebel Productions explores the complexities of the female experience through a fearless creative lens.
