2026 Project: Donut Dollies, A One Woman Show

Picture
On the bones of her arse, my Mother turned a run-down donut van into a small catering empire. My three sisters and I travelled across the UK selling donuts at festivals with courage, cleavage and a hell of a lot of cable ties. We grew from girls into women on the muddy battlefields of the UK. This play explore class mobility, mental health, addiction, and the importance of humour. It subverts stereotypes of idyllic coastal living, offering up a nuanced tale of a Cornish family of five girls rolling, sugaring and bagging their way to a better future, with plenty of pot-holes, blowouts and breakdowns along the way! Described by imPossible Producing as an 'intensely funny, unflinching coming-of-age story.' BAFTA award-winning screenwriter Jane Pugh has described my writing as 'a human display of fireworks' and audiences have described my writing as 'timely, satirical, and deeply funny.'


Recently shortlisted for Theatre Royal Plymouth and Pleasance Theatre's Edinburgh Fringe Award (2026), my one woman show has been met with resounding audience applause when scratched at two Made In Cornwall Showcases, as such, I have been urged to 'take it the The Fringe!' The concept was chosen out of 120 submissions for ImPossible's Shared Prosperity Fund 'Make it Possible' project, supporting early to mid career Cornwall based artists. Thanks to this, I will be taking it to Falmouth International Arts Festival in March 2026 to a room of industry professionals. See you there! ​

A Cornish Conviction

"Although not the first to dramatise the story of Mary Bryant, Tamara Rosenwyn has written a compelling script [...] She has brought to life the tribulations of the convicts transported to Australia in the late 1700s, the difficulties faced by the officials in charge of them, and ultimately the hope for an end to the practice."
Review of 'A Cornish Conviction' by The National Operatic and Dramatic Association [NODA].
