LITTLE DEATHS
'This is just the start. Of Everything. Of Us.'
If a lifelong friendship dies many deaths, how many can Charlie and Debs survive?
It’s the late 90s and Charlie and Debs are sure of at least three things: you can never wear too much Impulse Blue, their Say You’ll Be There dance routine is different from everyone else’s, and most importantly – they will be friends forever. Obviously. No question. Right?
With high hopes, dodgy fringes and banging tunes binding them together, two women dance their way through the years as they shift, change and push at the boundaries of what their friendship is, and test what it can withstand.
The debut play by Amy Powell Yeates captures the weirdness and wonder of platonic love, and spotlights the power of friendship to hurt and heal.
(Basically it’s about the Spice Girls and death.)
