YVETTE

'I see the way that butters-fat-lipped-troll-Patrice looks at him, now she’s the kinda lighty that finks she’s too nice.'

Evie is thirteen and lives in Neasden with her Mum. 
She wants to tell us about something… her crush on Lewis, trying to be a woman, friends, virginity, garage remixes, hello kitty underwear… an ‘Uncle’ lurking in the corner of her story. 

She wants to make us laugh, she’s pretty good at it. 
She wants to tell us something, but she daren’t let it out. 

Based a true story, Yvette is a one woman show with original music about a stolen childhood and growing up with a secret.

There will be a collection for Rape Crisis UK after every performance.
