About Red

Product Description When her best friend Jay goes missing, Dee withdraws into a twilight world of fragmented memories and conversations, shattered by her grief. Where should she look for Jay? What did she miss? What did Jay say? And what couldn’t she say? Review "Has a subtle, yet accessible writing style that provides ample opportunities for a young ensemble to explore, ask questions, and push their performance skills… the action is lively and energetic, the dialogue well-paced – jumping between characters with a refreshing, playful energy." —Teaching Drama (2018-10-19) "Complex, topical and rich in emotion… Seaton's writing fizzes off the page. Her characters are strong, complex and vibrant, her themes solid and resonant and she has delivered a foundation on which girls can finally flourish." —Ink Pellet (2018-10-19) About the Author Somalia Seaton is a British-Jamaican and Nigerian playwright and screenwriter, born and raised in South-East London.
