‘She Wins All the Races’- A tragicomedy with
Biscuits
On tour
Set in the 1970’s this brand new show is about an
intelligent, happy little girl Belinda, who loves life, her two brothers and
stealing The Priest’s biscuits with her best friend Angela. But her brothers
are not walking properly and when she opens ‘the drawer she must never open’
her world is cataclysmically blown apart…..
‘She Wins All TheRaces’ is a dynamic, fun,
heartening one-woman show about a little girl growing up with the
certainty of loss. It is a celebration of the courage and resilience of the
human spirit, with quirky, physical storytelling and a little bit of Abba!

Audience comments:
Fantastic performance! ! Humour and emotion
alike...must see production!!
I can honestly say it was one of the best plays I
have seen!
A beautifully crafted, emotional rollercoaster. I
cried so much I forgot to eat me Tunnocks tea cake
From the heart Shell, as was every word you spoke
and every action you took last night. Inspirational!
Bravo! That was such an excellent, funny, brave
show.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, extremely moving but so
thoughtfully and cleverly done.
Hexham Courant: "Clearly
an accomplished actress with lashings of charisma to boot with a powerful tale
to tell. A play with a heart that beats strongly and within it one of the
saddest, most touching scenes I have ever seen on stage."
Mentors: Paul Harman,
Geof Keys
Science Advisors: Dr
Steven Lavall & Dr Mojgan Reza, Centre For Life, Newcastle
Digital projection and
