Bubblegum Dreams
Leyla Moody is turning thirteen. A time to be showered in gifts and attention. A time to be treated as an adult. Right? But when you have an older sister with a new boyfriend, a younger brother losing his grip on reality, and a serial killer terrorising the neighbourhood, what chance do you have?
This is a show about endings. The end of the year, the end of the eighties, and the end of one girl's age of innocence. Bubblegum Dreams is set in the fragile confines of a wistful and treasured memory and told through dreamy dance sequences, musical segueways and remembered or imagined dialogues.
