Critics Review
‘A compelling look at teenage identity… The real life issue takes on heightened dramatic resonance, fractured and splintered by Gregg’s syncopated prose style’
‘Gregg writes with huge understanding for her protagonist, capturing the enormity of teenage emotions, the tumult of emerging identities and the mixed messages sent out by society’
* Fest Mag *’[A] startling monologue… refreshing, complex… forces us to listen to a voice rarely given the chance to be heard’
* WhatsOnStage *‘Cleverly plays on teenage confusions and allows for wavering sympathies… a thoughtful play that constantly questions who we are, and how we represent ourselves to the world and to each other’
* Guardian *‘A compelling look at teenage identity… The real life issue takes on heightened dramatic resonance, fractured and splintered by Gregg’s syncopated prose style’
