Description
By Sophia Leonie
A Brixton House Premiere.
“I love my estate. I thought it was so run down when we first came here, but I’d actually hate to live on a road again. No 40-40 run outs, no water fights, no park, no astro. It’s always buzzing – cars blasting music, kids playing. We’ve kinda made the wall by the entrance our spot. And we know – we get A LOT of attention.”
Spanning three decades, we join Jessica, Chanel and Latisha as they navigate first kisses, free yards, bullies and breakdowns. And some things you don’t talk about. Ever.
MILLENNIUM GIRLS brings together an all-female cast against a musical backdrop of UK Garage and 90s classics in this joyful and achingly honest coming-of-age story exploring identity, girlhood and consent. Sophia Leonie’s debut play is directed by Jade Lewis (Sleepova – Bush Theatre Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre) with Music Supervision from Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante (The Effect – National Theatre).
This production is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
