About this show
The year is 2009. The location is, physically, Slough, Berkshire and, spiritually, Forks, Washington. An 11-year-old Chloe Jacobs has written a 30,000-word self-insert erotic Twilight fanfiction. 17 years later, she's ready to share it on stage... This show asks the important questions: what does it mean to be a superfan? What compels us to write? And... Bella! Where the hell have you been, loca? 'Charmingly self-deprecating and wonderfully self-assured' (Cherwell.org). 'Effortlessly funny... had the audience doubled over with laughter' (DailyInfo.co.uk). 'I need to hear the rest of this fanfiction!' (Ahir Shah).
