Passion, pain and office pandemonium; KAREN invites you into the uproarious world of our Protagonist. Seamlessly breaking the fourth wall, she’ll whisk you through a chaos-filled narrative that has been described as “the female Peep Show” (The Nerd Party) and a “modern day Bridget Jones” (A Youngish Perspective).

We open on Protagonist's 30th birthday at Alton Towers, where her life takes an unexpected turn. Mid-Calippo, she's unceremoniously dumped by her long-term partner, Joe. Little does she know, this is just the beginning. Protagonist soon navigates through office hell as Joe starts dating her arch-nemesis: Karen. Can she navigate the powder keg of heartbreak, societal pressures, and an identity crisis whilst remaining professional?

Through laughter, tears, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Protagonist must learn the invaluable lesson that the path to healing lies in moving through the pain, not around it, and in the empowerment of owning one's emotions that allows you to find peace.
