They drove from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands - one grandparent, one grandchild, one unspoken truth.

Multi-award winning storyteller, Yoz Mensch, weaves a darkly funny and haunting solo show about dingy hotel rooms, dog-eared maps, and the strained intimacy of travel.

Drawn from hundreds of real Instagram Stories posted during the trip, Yoz revisits what they shared with their grandpa - and the secrets they didn’t.

Blending clowning, found footage, and intimate confession, My Grandpa Doesn’t Follow Me On Instagram unravels what it means to hide yourself from the people you love.

My Grandpa Doesn’t Follow Me On Instagram is being developed as part of our Centre Stage Residency, in collaboration with Adelaide Fringe, and will be presented as part of our 2026 Adelaide Fringe program.

The showing will be followed by a short Q&A with Yoz Mensch, hosted by The Mill CEO / Artistic Director Katrina Lazaroff. Audiences will have the opportunity to ask questions about the development and provide feedback about the performance.
