The Reviews HubOne Of Them Ones portrays its characters' inner thoughts and progressions so well, and with such empathy, we could all learn from it.⭐⭐⭐⭐3/4
London Theatre 1Having recently seen a different show that, in effect, asserted LGBT+ people have no place in the countryside and should relocate to somewhere more urban if they want to be accepted for who they are, it’s pleasing to see this production challenge that still prevalent viewpoint. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pentabus are delighted to present One Of Them Ones an inspiring and celebratory new play by rising star Charlie Josephine who wrote the critically acclaimed I, Joan - ***** The Times, **** The Guardian, **** Independent
An uplifting new play about two siblings living in a rural community trying to get their heads around gender identity. Frankie is desperate to be understood, accepted, loved. But LGBTQ alphabet soup has got Michael’s head spinning. Why's it gotta be so complicated? Why can't they understand? Why can't things go back to the way they always were? Unpicking the complexities of identity and the fierce family love that hopefully holds us together.
"Frankie said we should do this, tell our story, cus yeah, it’s a mad one, and maybe someone might like it, and find it useful or whatever? So, that’s why we’re here...."
