Aideen McQueen: Waiting For Texto

“You spend the night with someone new, and it was… heaven! You text them… they see it… and then they DON’T TEXT YOU BACK

“Waiting for Texto” speaks of an incredibly raw yet utterly universal experience – waiting for someone to respond to your carefully crafted message on WhatsApp.

“If men are such visual creatures, why can’t they see my texts?!”

“Waiting for Texto” hurls audiences into the intricacies of contemporary relationships in the digital age. Follow Lucy as she navigates the treacherous waters of love, singledom, and the relentless pull of social media addiction. Her journey becomes even more chaotic as she finds herself entangled with a man who seems barely alive. Her life is hyper-connected, yet she is lonely.  

Have you ever written a text message and agonised over its contents? Felt genuine distress as you waited for its return? “Waiting fro Texto” brings these ubiquitous experiences to the stage, showcasing real-time SMS exchanges, social media deep dives, swiping, and unexpected twists that delve into the comical complexities of co-dependency and the quest for purpose in a family-centric society.

A New Comedy written by Aideen McQueen… and every woman she’s ever met

Written by the brilliant Aideen McQueen and her sister Aoife Darmody, in conjunction with her friends, her mother, the girl she met in a night club toilet in Liverpool in 2016, everyone she’s ever met really! “Waiting for Texto” promises to be an unforgettable theatrical event. Aideen McQueen, a rising star in comedy writing, has created a piece that mixes comedy with pathos. Her wit and unique perspective shines through in every line of this one-hour spectacle.

Described as “Bridget Jones meets Baby Reindeer”, “Waiting for Texto” offers a fresh, hilarious take on the trials and tribulations of modern dating, making it a perfect fit for anyone who’s ever grappled with the perils of love and texting in the digital age.
