Recommended 16+.
Why is everything we learn,
everything we do, about men?
Just a big bunch of men killing each other.
Just ...swords and dicks. Where are all the girls?
School is a nightmare, boys are infuriating and maccies is the only place open after 6pm. Growing up isn't easy, but it's even harder when you are from a place where no one expects anything of you - and especially if you're queer or the new girl at school.
Beth, Rachel, Zahidah, Ellie and Chloe are stuck, stuck in their drama group, stuck in school and stuck in their small town which doesn't even have a Nando's.
Written by Samantha O'Rourke, alumni of the Young Everyman Playhouse programme, Our Town Needs a Nando's is published in Methuen Drama's Plays for Young People series which offers suitable plays for young performers and audiences at schools, youth groups and youth theatres.
This edition was published in June 2023.
