★★★★
"A funny, touching and riotous showcase of what it's like to be a teenager"
Liverpool ECHO

Why is everything we learn
everything we do
About men
Just a big bunch of men killing each other
Just …swords and dicks
Where are all the girls?

School is a nightmare, boys are infuriating and maccies is the only place open after 6pm. Growing up isn’t easy, but it’s even harder when you are from a place where no one expects anything of you – and especially if you’re queer or the new girl at school. Beth, Rachel, Zahidah, Ellie and Chloe are stuck, stuck in their drama group, stuck in school and stuck in their small town which doesn’t even have a Nandos.

Our Town Needs a Nandos is written by Samantha O’Rourke, a YEP writer alumni who wrote the play during her time as YEP writer on attachment.
