Let Me Finish

Let Me Finish is a vibrant, dynamic, devised production about being a young woman in 2018, from dating and relationships through to self-image and the struggle to be heard.

Unapologetic and outspoken, this is an episodic piece of theatre that takes the experiences of the cast, growing up and living as young women in our society. With the help of some gorgeous photos, we get to know these very likeable young women and get a snapshot of their lives. There is also a hint of a love story woven into the plot. 

Wonderful ensemble work from Charlotte Otton (who conceived the project), Ana Ika, Angela Mahlatjie, Izzy McDonald and Jess Moyle, who move the show swiftly and perform with honesty and warm humour.

A highlight is a quick stories segment which will change with every performance. Clever and exciting, this was a wonderful example of leaving the audience wanting more. 

While this particularly resonated with my companion, a young woman in this age bracket, this show has broader appeal and is a lovely celebration of female self-acceptance and empowerment. Some fresh feminist theatre for everyone.
