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.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

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.
