How to Fail as a Popstar: A Play

By Vivek Shraya

How to Fail as a Popstar is Vivek Shraya's debut theatrical work, a one-person show that chronicles her journey from singing in shopping malls to "not quite" pop music superstardom with beguiling humour and insight. This astonishing work is a raw and humorous reflection on the power of pop culture, dreams, disappointments, and self-determination.

The book includes colour photographs from the show's 2020 production in Toronto, a foreword by its director, Brendan Healy, and an afterword by the author.
