Destiny

<i>They're sayin I brought it on myself.</i><br/><i>Oh yeah they've heard about me. Basically it</i><i>must've been my fault cause I'm me Destiny.</i><br/><i><br/></i>Destiny dreams big. She dreams glamour. She's gonna be an MTV Base backing dancer you watch. If J-Lo can make it outta the Bronx then Destiny can make it off the Hill Rise estate in Chippenham. She's<br/>fearless ferocious and up for the fight (she's had to be). Born below the breadline she's desperate to see beyond the neighbourhood and find hope in hopelessness.<br/><br/>This monologue follows the story of a teenage girl growing up on a rural Wiltshire council estate. After a big night out takes a turn for the worst Destiny's life spirals out of control as she desperately tries to learn how to love and be loved. <br/><br/>Florence Espeut-Nickless' debut play is a recipient of The Pleasance's 2021 National Partnerships Award with Bristol Old Vic FERMENT and was shortlisted for Theatre West's Write On Women Award.<br/><br/>This edition was published to coincide with the run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022.
