Jenni’s 16th birthday is coming up, and her new boyfriend Jamie will be there. He is so nice. He is interested in everything she does. He always wants to know where she is and what she’s doing. He texts her all the time and follows her every move on Facebook. But things start to take a turn, and Jenni isn’t so sure anymore. This gripping play follows the ups and downs of a young woman’s relationship as it goes from being near perfect to becoming an abusive nightmare.

A fantastic production that deals professionally and sensitively with serious social issues. Well done!

"This is a very moving piece of theatre. The aim is to disturb and that is achieved fully. None watching this play would ever again be victim to such abuse having witnessed a relay of classic symptoms.”
