I'm The Hero of This Story

This is about not knowing where you belong.

 

After taking a massive leap of faith and deciding to move home, Roxanne believed she had sussed it out and it was plain sailing from here. But at every turn along a really, stretched out path of starting again, Roxanne has been met with obstacles. Social, political and misogynist ones. It can’t just be a coincidence; they’ve got to be linked.

In this honest and powerful solo performance, Roxanne merges theatre, spoken word and hip hop to open conversations about the expectations of young women.

These witty and fast paced poems, tackle Roxanne’s relationship to gender politics, breakups, family, dating, (sexual) health, democracy and generation rent.

This show is a work-in-progress. Developed at Cambridge Junction and The Marlborough Theatre. Funded by Jerwood Performing Arts Micro Bursary. Supported by the University of Chichester and Arts Council England.
