I saw the show on Wednesday evening in Cambridge Arts Theatre, and as I was sat in the circle having a look around, I noticed a lady with spiky grey hair in the seats below. I'm certain it was Emma Rice, who wrote the show!
The show had lots of songs, could have been promoted as a musical, and the performers were fantastic. The story focused on the relationships between the girls, and showed the changes in these over the school year and as their own circumstances changed.
I don't want to say too much about the story in case others are going to see the show, as it's still touring, but I enjoyed it.
