Description

An explosive one-woman show following the inspiring story of Yasmin, a sixteen-year-old girl from Scarborough, whose life is not sandcastles, arcades and donkey rides... she finds herself pregnant and alone in the world. A unique and bold production propels this hard-hitting yet inspiring story written by Scarborough-born Christopher York. Yasmin takes us on a whirlwind journey through nights out, morning sickness and school uniforms right up to her son's coming of age. Build a Rocket is a funny and uplifting story exploring triumph over adversity, and challenging perceptions of young motherhood along the way.

This is such a clever show - in turn both deeply funny and extremely moving. The writing is intelligent, the use of music is fantastic and Shannon Rewcroft’s performance of Yasmin is out of this world.


It was a privilege to watch.

Build a Rocket shoots for the stars and soars even further. A truly creative, witty, hilarious, poetic, and emotive production with music and audience participation. This production is the definition of theatre that makes you think and feel.
