"Tilley’s energy while performing is so infectious and endearing…we honestly couldn’t fault this production"
Centre Stage Blog ★★★★.5
"I must applaud the direction of Beth Wilson who made the scene changes not only effortless but also interesting, something that does not come easily in a one-hander; the dances and movement sequences foreshadowed what was to come and subtly trickled the information into our subconscious."

Hope has just moved out from her childhood home in Macclesfield to the bright lights of London. After getting a job at a (get this) dinosaur themed bar and moving in with a very mature housemate, everything seems to be going brilliantly. But when she learns some questionable things about her manager, things at work spin out of control. Hope slips deeper and deeper out of her depth and questions how ready she was to leave home after all.
With witty audience interactions, hilarious physical comedy and touching vulnerability, you can expect a good laugh followed by a single tear rolling down your cheek.
