One Of Them Ones – A new play by Charlie Josephine
Pentabus are delighted to present an inspiring and joyful new play by rising star Charlie Josephine writer of the critically acclaimed I, Joan – ***** The Times, **** The Guardian, **** Independent
A dazzling new play about two siblings living in a rural community trying to get their heads around gender identity. Frankie is desperate to be understood, accepted, loved. But LGBTQ alphabet soup has got Michael’s head spinning. Why’s it gotta be so complicated? Why can’t they understand? Why can’t things go back to the way they always were? Unpicking the complexities of identity and the fierce family love that hopefully holds us together.
“Frankie said we should do this, tell our story, cus yeah, it’s a mad one, and maybe someone might like it, and find it useful or whatever? So, that’s why we’re here….”
Suitable for ages 12+
