Dark Vanilla Jungle
Wasps only sting the people they love.
Why mom?
Its their way of giving you a gift.
Oh look! A tiny diamond.
You see how much the wasp loved you?
One of Englands most prolific playwrights introduces us to Andrea, a young girl just trying to stay alive amidst an act of violence that alters her existence and everyone she touches. Andreas yearning for love and a family takes her to the darkest of places and she just wants to tell you the truth, will you listen?
