Janie and Lolita are on a mission. London to the countryside and back again… hopefully. A gritty fairytale of friendship, freedom and County Lines drug running.
Reviews
**** London Love Culture review – ‘Every aspect of this drama is so vivid. ‘
My Theatre Mates review – ‘we feel an increasing, throbbing tension as these young women find themselves closer to danger in a world where “girls have no status”.’
Guardian review – ‘The strength of McKennell’s play is in the friends’ voices – simultaneously childlike and street smart – and in a storyline that brings an invisible underclass of oppressed girls and women to life. ‘
