EXTRACT: It was like I could be like me, be wild, and being me was enough for someone like you, I mean fuck me you’re a supermodel, you’re a fucking supermodel, you’ve got legs for days, brows on fleek, fuck you’re on fleek, you’re the definition of fleek like if I looked up fleek right now it would just say you. You make the concept of feet not gross, like seriously, I think I’ve developed a foot fetish for you and it’s not even gross because it’s you.

EXTRACT: I think it was just so underwhelming because I’d studied for all that time and sacrificed so many things for it; I didn’t go for my L’s for it, I single-handedly murdered thousands of trees for it, I neglected all forms of self-care, gave up reading, films and even playing fucking Minecraft because apparently that was too nerdy for it and sold all my Sims 2 expansion and stuff packs on Gumtree for it because “why not just get friends in real life?” but ironically I’ve never really had any friends anyway so that seemed like a pretty useless thing for an exam to whisper in my ear as I’m writing an essay you know?

INTERVIEW

REVIEWSBYJUDITH.COM

" I like to say that this is not a biopic, this is not my life. This is a fascination and an interest in the bond that I have with my mum, and then I fictionalized the rest to show a new perspective on love. I'm very passionate about young queer people being involved in storytelling because of the ageism that I've experienced in this industry even though having been in it for only a few years. I've just found the people won't read my play because of my age, it's not in the act." Laneikka Denne
