REVIEWS:

"The dialogue feels authentic while the lyrics feel like Victoria Wood for a new generation… a bittersweet new play."

 The Stage

"It's funny. It's engaging, even heart-warming, but most of all, it's perceptive about the characters' concerns and insecurities... writer Tom Wells clearly understands teenagers, so we really do believe what we are seeing."

 British Theatre Guide

"A sweet meditation on the fierce, fragile alliances formed on the cusp of adulthood... treads a perfect line between gauche charm and whimsy."

 The Guardian

Premiere Production: Live Theatre, Newcastle, & tour 2016.
