This play is published by Methuen Drama in a series entitled ‘Plays for Young People age 11+’. It was part of the Edinburgh International Children's Festival and was first performed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in April 2023 at Northern Stage and was directed by Natalie Ibu.
The script is relatively short at 32 pages in this edition but the parts are demanding. The cast consists of just three young girls, described as: Alice (east coast Scottish), Jade (east coast Scottish, mixed heritage Jamaican and Scottish), Chloe, English – Northumberland – mixed heritage (Scottish and Irish).
The play is set in a small community in Scotland and the script refers to Primary 7 classes which means the last year of primary school where pupils are aged 11. The play could be adapted to take place in any small community where themes of prejudice, racism, bullying, sexism and environmental issues are present.
