Yvette by Urielle Klein-Mekongo
“I see the way that butters-fat-lipped-troll-Patrice looks at him, now she’s the kinda lighty that finks she’s too nice.” Evie is thirteen and lives in Neasden with her Mum. She wants to tell us about something… her crush on Lewis, trying to be a woman, friends, virginity, garage remixes, Hello Kitty underwear… an ‘Uncle’ lurking in the corner of her story. She wants to make us laugh, she’s pretty good at it. She wants to tell us something, but she daren’t let it out.
Yvette is a winning and poignant work.. Its sad and defiant, laced with humour and music. * The Stage *
Doesnt just hit you in the heart but also pulls fire up into your belly… Its a beautifully crafted piece of writing * The Fringe Review *
