      Do you get to design your boobs? Is it like Build-A-Bear? Meet Lucy and Jess; two best friends who obsess over boys, booze and their boobs. But when her mother dies of breast cancer, Lucy is forced to make a decision that will change her body forever. A story that spans ten years, Lucy Light is a powerful duologue between two women that offers a nostalgic look at our relationship with our bodies, the hereditary nature of cancer, and the strength of female friendships. My front crawl is a bit f***ing feminine Tumble Tuck is a funny, brutal and honest one person piece about body image, mental health and relationships, that seeks to examine what it means to be successful in a world where medals matter. In these two complementary new plays, Sarah Milton offers up two strong female led narratives with dynamic, complex characters. This edition was published to coincide with the London production of Lucy Light at The Vault Festival 2019.
