The set is a cross between a teenager’s bedroom and a rock gig, and actors sling on electric guitars to channel the punkish energy of a riot grrrl band as they half sing, half speak this coming-of-age story of trauma and healing.
“We are going to tell you a story about a woman,” says the headbanging frontwoman (Dani Heron), who flags up the sex, swearing and rock’n’roll to come. So we follow the central character in this exuberant piece of gig theatre as she goes from schoolgirl sex, parties and music-making to teen pregnancy, miscarriage, rape and depression.
