Red by Somalia Seaton

Red by Somalia Seaton

An unflinching and bold exploration of the internal lives of young women. Part of Platform, an initiative aimed at addressing gender imbalance in theatre.

'A fantastic resource… the dialogue is quick, punchy and easily accessible, the characters easy to identify with… Red is a blank slate, offering opportunities for the use of a variety of theatrical stylesFor this reason I would strongly recommend this play. It is versatile, well-written, and in-tune with the needs of drama teachers and students in modern Britain'

* Drama Magazine *

'Has a subtle, yet accessible writing style that provides ample opportunities for a young ensemble to explore, ask questions, and push their performance skills… the action is lively and energetic, the dialogue well-paced – jumping between characters with a refreshing, playful energy'

* Teaching Drama *

'Complex, topical and rich in emotion… Seaton's writing fizzes off the page. Her characters are strong, complex and vibrant, her themes solid and resonant and she has delivered a foundation on which girls can finally flourish'
