Hot Chicks - (Modern Plays) by Rebecca Jade Hammond (Paperback)

About the Book

When mysteriously well-off twenty-something Sadie enters Cheney's chicken shop, teenagers Ruby and Kyla see their ticket to freedom from their dead-end Welsh town... but at what cost?

Book Synopsis

This is the world now... it's ugly and painful and savage. But you'll grow stronger. I'll help you grow stronger.

Teenagers Ruby and Kyla spend their evenings hanging at Cheney's chicken shop dreaming of moving to Vegas and going viral. A chance encounter with older, cooler Sadie, means their dreams of pool parties and showering in dollars could become a reality... but at what price?

Rebecca Jade Hammond's ferocious, witty and unsettling play Hot Chicks is contemporary Welsh theatre at its sharpest.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production in March 2025, co-produced by Grand Ambition and Sherman Theatre.
