Written and performed by Michaela Coel who spent her childhood in Hackney, London, Chewing Gum Dreams won the 2012 Alfred Fagon Award.

"Coel is by turns casually cruel, hilariously funny, naive, wise and vulnerable. Her play tackles some difficult themes, including sexual assault, violence, and underachievement across generations - a serious new talent." - Londonist

"An engrossing, engaging and compelling one-woman show... nothing short of virtuosic." - What's On Stage

"A promising, resilient artist." - Che Walker
