Yve Blake – Fangirls
A 13-year-old girl told Yve Blake that she would ‘slit someone’s throat to be with the man I love’. She was talking about Harry Styles. Fangirls is a musical inspired by interviews Yve held with hundreds of teenage fangirls. It’s a story of young women, the stories we tell them, and the ways we underestimate or…
Kew Gardens
