Pick N Mix

Description

The 354 Johnnyarm from Vagland will shortly be arriving in Wombtown, please brace for impact. Three lasses. One lad. And a bucket load of teen angst. When Olivia, Kim and Alisha all take a fancy to the same local lad, friendships and families are torn apart. Lies are told, secrets are spilled and their lives are about to change forever. Pick N Mix is a coming-of-age story of sisterhood, Sex Ed and sanitary pads. Kat Rose-Martin is a Bradford lass born and bred. She was the first winner of Kay Mellor Fellowship, and has written for stage and TV, including BBC's Holby City & Sky's Wolfe. Pick N Mix is her first full-length play. This edition was published to coincide with the UK tour in Leeds and Bradford, in November 2022.
