Single Use by Verity Mullan

Meet Ella, a karaoke-loving procrastinator with a taste for Deliveroo and casual white lies. When a strange delivery arrives on her doorstep she’s forced to make a decision: save the planet or save herself?

Written and performed by Verity Mullan and directed by Emma Beth Jones, Single Use is a thoughtful and hilarious one-woman comedy about climate guilt, emotional avoidance, bad first dates and plastic recycling.

After sell-out shows at Pleasance Theatre, Ed Fringe 2025, Single Use is back in time for bin day.
