Theatre

Ok Im really glad I found this site I have been looking for sites about this play or the people because I loved it so much! Its about young women and there is not much drama about the truth of girls lives.
It is a shame about the name becuase I nearly didnt go and see it and ir will put lots of people off but its so good that everyone should see it.

I went to see this play in its first week and I am still thinking about it now. It was extremely clever and funny and also moving and sad. It is understandable that some people will struggle with the title and subject matter because it is not meant to be easily palatable. These people should summon just a little courage and discover this memorable and brilliant work.

This is an outstanding theatre and unmissable. Bright, funny and fast with all the excitement that discovering a genuinely new voice brings. Technically telling any tale in reverse order is famously hard. The driving force in the narative is no longer what happens next - because you've already seen it - you have to want to know why - you have to care. Here you do. Why is she "f**ked"? Of course there is a crystlising incident but it placement and silent exposition is here handled with a confidence and grace that writers with much greater experience can only admire. It's also funny. Roaringly funny. Delicious performance, strongly directed and writting to die for. Enjoy...

i watched this last night and enjoyed it so much i had to recommend it. it played to a packed [sold out] audience, who loved it. the writing was fantastic, very very funny, and moving in parts too. the actress was fantastic, very natural and believable, getting the emotion and comedy just right.
i am sending all my friends along to watch it.

is there nudity? the theme implies there might be. I need to know before I commit to buying a ticket.

Dispicable for you to have such a name of a site my kids use!

Finally someone who is brave enough to tell the truth! Young women everywhere are starving for something to relate to - something to recognise themselves in, something to identify with...and here it is. And this play doesn't beat about the bush (pun intended). It's dirty and beautiful and bleak and poetic and you wince and laugh and cry when you watch it because it's TRUE. As twenty-something women we do not have any clear role-models. Our mothers are not particularly exemplary - they had us by the time they were our age. The only representatives available in the media are emaciated, air-brushed beauties who merely perpetuate the objectification cycle we are so tragically caught in. And so is it any wonder that we find ourselves becoming slightly neurotic, jaded, wishing we were cleaner, better, or just...something else? We are setting the new standard, we are paving the way, we are living a life which has not been lived before and that's difficult. Searching blindly through unknown and rocky terrain will result in mistakes, mishaps and total confusion and hurrah for the woman bold enough to document it publicly. What a total inspiration. I'm thrilled.

The subject matter is done to death in my opinion. I was swiftly bored. If you're going to write about drugs and sex, you've got to bump up the stakes. It was really quite 'so what?' I liked the naturalistic monologue though and the performer was interesting - and irritating at the same time. But nothing caught fire in either the writing or the performance and I was left untouched. Monologues always seem to get great reviews, but I see them as cop outs. Where are the relationships and the interplay? Talking AT the audience does nothing for me and I'm puzzled that this is a Critic's Choice. I think it's a case of publicity and style over content I'm afraid.
