Praise for this book

"Coel is by turns casually cruel, hilariously funny, naive, wise and vulnerable. Her play tackles some difficult themes, including sexual assault, violence, and underachievement across generations - a serious new talent." --Londonist

"An engrossing, engaging and compelling one-woman show... nothing short of virtuosic." --What's On Stage

"A promising, resilient artist." --Che Walker
