Don’t you dare judge me for surviving…
Is this world for The Dreamer? The Womanist?
Or is it better to comply with society’s expectations of…
Girls. Girlhood is explored through survival and friendship as three teenagers have been kidnapped.
Their names are Tisana, Ruhab and Haleema. Remember them. Theresa Ikoko pens a play “To the unseen, underestimated, forgotten, ignored, abandoned and lonely survivors…”
Girls was premiered in 2016 at the HighTide Festival and Soho Theatre, produced by HighTide, Soho Theatre and Talawa Theatre Company. Although “this world is not for girls”, we rise, survive and we thrive. That’s our power. And we are inviting you to see just how that’s done.
