About this show
Cellotape follows the intricate relationship between two girls as they grow up and navigate the world of teenage drama, peer pressure and sex. However, we are soon exposed to the harsh reality that even from a young age, some friendships can be toxic and detrimental, as not everything is as it seems between the two main characters. Cellotape uses what I describe as ‘traumatic nostalgia’ in order to reflect on very real societal issues such as the indoctrination of children into abusive patterns.

We have captured 1 published review and 10 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
For a first-year drama student to take material this personal and confront such uncomfortable, under-discussed themes is hugely brave. Cellotape doesn’t always make for comfortable viewing, and nor should it.
