The true story of a rather twisted schoolgirl.

Poppy's just started at an all-girls state school in a provincial English town, where there are rules with no logic, sadistic jokes that aren't actually funny, and the most sinister games played out of boredom.

Izzy Tennyson's solo show Brute won the 2015 IdeasTap Underbelly Award, had a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and transferred to Soho Theatre with Damsel Productions in 2016.

Brute is also available in Grotty & Brute: Two Plays.

REVIEWS:

"Painfully well-observed and often very funny… Brute has nails embedded in it."
