Any Day Now by Martia Dimmer

Any Day Now is a poignant and comedic one-person show exploring Thanatophobia (fear of dying) and how we treat people with terminal illnesses in society. Girl is on a quest to overcome her own fear of dying and leave behind a legacy in the process. She decides to spend her morning at her cousin’s Death Cafe, where she meets Kevin, Frankie, and Michael, who are dealing with a terminal diagnosis, loss, or both. Through the relationships she builds, she finds humor, humility, and empathy when faced with her greatest fear and embraces her shared humanity with those facing a shortened life.

Any Day Now is written and performed by Martia Dimmer. Martia is a performer and writer from London who graduated from the MA Acting program at Mountview in 2021. Since graduating she has done several short films, worked at the Vaults Festival, and a summer season of Shakespeare!
