About Rosa
Rosa takes up more room than 160 cm should allow. Curvy, chestnut brown hair worn long and properly curly rather than waved, brown eyes that go straight to whoever is talking. She dresses in colour and pattern, a print dress, a red coat, earrings that move, and she is entirely unapologetic about being the brightest thing on a grey street. In a postcode where the default is navy, she walks into a room and it reorganises itself slightly around her, which she has never once seemed to notice.
At 25 she is loud, kind and exhausting in the best way. Her English comes fast, with a laugh that carries about thirty metres and has been known to start other people off. She sings in a choir on Tuesdays and takes it more seriously than she admits. She is a hopeless crier at anything performed live and will tell you so before it happens. What she is not is sentimental about people: she reads them quickly, decides, and is very rarely wrong.
Her Isle of Dogs evening is The Space on Westferry Road, a converted chapel with about a hundred seats and a bar in the old nave, where the thing on stage might be extraordinary or might be a disaster and either way costs less than a round at the Wharf. She books the early show. Afterwards it is a short walk to the dockside or a ten minute ride back up to Canary Wharf for supper. Marylebone is home, and she treats the DLR from Bank as the better half of the commute.
The Isle of Dogs page covers the island end to end. Her hour is £250 and everything longer is on rates. One note to booking arranges the night.

An evening with Rosa
The chapel holds about a hundred people and the bar is where the pews used to be, which she finds funny every single time. The show could be a two hander that stays with you for a month or an absolute catastrophe, and she is equally delighted by both possibilities, which takes the pressure off the whole evening. She cries at the good ones without embarrassment. In the interval she will have an opinion already formed and will defend it. Afterwards the walk down to the dockside takes six minutes and the noise of her laugh carries most of the way, then it is supper nearby or back up to the towers in fifteen minutes. She is easy to please and impossible to fool.
Rosa, in her own words
What if the show is terrible?
Then we have something to talk about all evening. A bad hundred seat play is far better company than a competent expensive one.
Are you always this loud?
Yes. I have tried being mysterious and it lasted about four minutes. You will hear me before you see me.
Would you rather do something quiet?
Now and then, and I am good at it. But if you are choosing between a quiet bar and a strange little play, choose the play.

What guests have written
Nothing is written here for Rosa yet, which is usually what discretion looks like in E14. A note appears only when a guest writes one, she agrees to it, and the desk has checked that it reads as a first name, a month and nothing private.
