Australian Premiere

Tits, popsocks and the 67 bus.

Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum Dreams is a hilarious, irreverent ride through Tracey’s last precious days of childhood. Tracey is 14 and she knows where she stands. Indian bus drivers are the best. Candice is the buffest girl she’s ever seen. Fat Lesha can lick her own vagina. And Connor Jones? He's eyeballing her pop socks… hard.

From the award winning playwright and creator of Chewing Gum and I May Destroy You comes this fire cracking work that will delight you, before it smacks you harder than the 67 bus.

Presented by Green Door Theatre Company in association with Red Line Productions.
