“I see the way that butters-fat-lipped-troll-Patrice looks at him, now she’s the kinda lighty that finks she’s too nice.”

Evie is thirteen and lives in Neasden with her Mum. She wants to tell us about something… her crush on Lewis, trying to be a woman, friends, virginity, garage remixes, hello kitty underwear… an ‘Uncle’ lurking in the corner of her story.

She wants to make us laugh, she’s pretty good at it.

She wants to tell us something, but she daren’t let it out.

Based on a true story, Yvette is a one woman show with original music about a stolen childhood and growing up with a secret.

There will be a collection for Rape Crisis UK after every performance.

Winner, Young Harts Writing Fest Audience Favourite 2017, Kings Head Theatre Stella Wilkie Award 2017, The East15 Pulse Award 2017.

Yvette is playing in London for 2.5 weeks across five leading London venues; Shoreditch Town Hall, Camden People’s Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, The Albany and Bush Theatre.

The Stage
