Description
Teenager Nina and best friend Faye are tangled in the terrifying culture of spiking and assault in this powerful new work written by an 18-year-old. Nina is cheeky and bubbly, until a night out takes a horrific turn, leaving her to navigate the devastating aftermath. Confident, outspoken, Faye's okay. Definitely. When Harry from school removes the condom midway through sex without her consent, she struggles for the first time to pretend she's fine. Playing Nina is Olivia McGeachy (also writer) and playing Faye is Heidi Steel (star of Summerhall's The Fish Bowl).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.

Very powerful and thought provoking. Engaging from start to finish, with relatable, everyday teenage life and the shocking events and consequences of that one night. Not afraid to tackle this harrowing subject. Very well acted and directed. I look forward to their next production. 5 stars

Such an incredibly hard-hitting and important piece. It's delivered in a way that's current and relatable for the audience, and I felt myself really feeling for the characters. Olivia McGeachy and Heidi Steel have an infectious onstage chemistry and absolutely shatter your hearts with their emotion and believability. Direction from Staci Shaw and Laura Gentile really uplifts the faultless script. A 5* show that everyone NEEDS to see.

Such a powerful show handled with professionalism from two captivating young actors. Kept me engaged through funny moments and hard hitting ones. Very emotional and powerful piece! Would recommend particularly to any young writers who want to tackle important and heavy topics.

I loved this play, hardhitting subject matter performed amazingly by two excellent actors. The story captured teenage friendship, the sexual awakening of young women and then the brutal reality women face in a funny ,
heartbreaking, moving way. I left the venue wanting to see all of my female friends to tell them how much I love them.
