The Reviewers HubFearless and audacious... Espeut-Nickless’ wide-eyed portrayal is subtle and layered. In giving Destiny a voice, the play shines an unforgiving light on the fallibility of authority, and the abuses of power.⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love London Love CultureImpressive to watch from start to finish, Destiny is a powerful piece of writing.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lou Reviewsfresh and funny... A piece which will spark discussion and deserves to be widely seen by girls (and boys) of 13 upwards and their parents.⭐⭐⭐⭐
A new digital play, exploring where film and theatre meet, opening the door to a teenage experience of growing up in rural Wiltshire in the 00’s.
They're sayin I brought it on myself.
Oh yeah, they've heard about me.
Basically it must've been my fault cause I'm me, Destiny.
Destiny dreams big. She dreams glamour. She's gonna be an MTV Base backing dancer, you watch. She's fearless, ferocious, and up for the fight (she's had to be). Born below the breadline, she's desperate to see beyond the neighbourhood and find hope in hopelessness.
DESTINY, is a powerful, funny and moving monologue written and performed by Florence Espeut-Nickless, which takes us on a journey of a teenage girl’s experience and response to abuses of power in many guises.
