Description

Reviews

"Complex, topical and rich in emotion… Seaton's writing fizzes off the page. Her characters are strong, complex and vibrant, her themes solid and resonant and she has delivered a foundation on which girls can finally flourish. " —Ink Pellet

"Has a subtle, yet accessible writing style that provides ample opportunities for a young ensemble to explore, ask questions, and push their performance skills… the action is lively and energetic, the dialogue well-paced – jumping between characters with a refreshing, playful energy. " —Teaching Drama
