Andrew Wiggins: how a shy NBA player negotiated growing up a star in the social media era

Andrew Wiggins was among the first superstar prospects of the social media era. Born in Thornhill, Ontario just north of Toronto, Wiggins was known internationally by the time he was 13. It wasn't always easy for the shy, small-town kid to embrace the spotlight. After just one full season at Vaughan, Wiggins needed better competition than Canada could provide and moved on to Huntington Prep in Huntington, West Virginia a relatively new prep school set in a small, blue-collar, sports-oriented college town near Kansas.

Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl at Southwark Playhouse Borough

Isabel Renner's Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl picks up the one-woman comedy baton from Phoebe Waller-Bridge's 2013 Edinburgh show-turned-BBC Three sensation Fleabag and Liz Kingman's brilliant 2023 West End hit, One Woman Show. It follows a frantically overthinking twenty-something-year-old as she tumbles through life with debilitating shyness. After a run (like Waller-Bridge) at Edinburgh Fringe, writer-performer Renner comes to London in this sparkly, pink-themed production directed by Cameron King (Butchery Lessons, 1 in a Chameleon) and produced by Catherine Schreiber (Burlesque, The Lehman Trilogy).
