Michaela Coel brings her own award-winning one-woman show Chewing Gum Dreams to The Studio at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre from October 3-5 as part of a national tour.
Winner of the 2012 Alfred Fagan Award, the play is inspired by her own experiences at an inner-city school, capturing the highs and desperate lows of teenage life.
Both funny and heartbreaking, it recalls the last days of innocence before adulthood—providing an intimate and challenging picture of life in today’s educational system.
