Brutal and darkly funny one woman play Where do Little Birds Go is a real tour de force. The story of Lucy Fuller who escaped a nightmare at the hands of the Kray twins, the character is a real challenge. Songs, multiple other characters in the story and a final section of genuine fear are all rendered even more effective by Lucy's strength and determination to survive. It crackles along and the atmosphere of the dangerous end of the swinging sixties is powerfully created.
This is an A level or high GCSE play and of real interest to those auditioning, but also it could be opened up to a larger cast and tackled as a really interesting experiment in non-naturalistic theatre. It's a tough read but a real gem.
