CHEWING GUM DREAMS
All fans of I MAY DESTROY YOU should head over to my favorite platform, National Theatre at Home, to check out the newly released tape of Michaela Coel’s one-woman show CHEWING GUM DREAMS. The play, which Coel first debuted in 2012, was the inspiration for her first show, CHEWING GUM. It’s a delightful piece about a fourteen-year-old girl named Tracey navigating all the usual pitfalls of adolescence–sex, friendship, bullying (though she’s the bully in most cases). In Coel’s usual style, the show is equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, and makes for great summer evening viewing!
