Reagan Kelly at NIDA. 2015.
REAGAN KELLY
“I know it looks like my fault, but it isn't – it can't be – this can't be my fault.”
A sharp-tongued comedy about rebellion, self-sabotage, and truly awful relationship decisions, Reagan Kelly follows a wry young woman navigating the emotional minefield of Brisbane suburbia. Trapped between nostalgia and nihilism, Reagan parties, spirals, and self-destructs in style—while assuring everyone she’s not the problem.
