Summary

“Why are we screaming? I don’t know! It feels good!”

A teenage girl steps over a barrier and destroys a painting.
Another steals a lipstick.
Another has her first kiss in the dark.
A fourth walks into a supermarket… And starts a republic.
Everyone is feeling everything at all times, even if they don’t want us to know it.
This is the superpower. It doesn’t all happen here. It doesn’t all happen now. A furious and funny new play for anyone who has ever witnessed the power of a teenage girl.

Publishing in conjunction with the run at Sheffield Theatres opening on 23 September.
