Book Synopsis
It is 1999. Hannah is sixteen. She loves karaoke and her bloke Bullfrog; she hates her hometown of Margate and the Kosovan asylum seekers who have come to live there. Hanna is also sixteen. She loves karaoke, loves Margate - and is one of the asylum-seekers. Slowly and unexpectedly, the two become friends, Hannah being forced to face up to her prejudices. This play for two young women addresses important issues through comedy, personal drama and the uniting power of music.2 women

Trade Review
"timely and significant... (the) simple staging is beautifully assured and well-crafted, particularly in its seamless knitting-together of music and action... it offers a notably sharp, thoughtful pen-portrait of new wave British fascism... finally the sheer human ordinariness of (the girls') teen friendship, set against so much hatred, is tremendously moving." Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman"
