YOUTH IN FLAMES

Chaos. Rebellion. A city on the brink. But Millie’s focused on living life to the full - who wouldn’t? Amid the 2019 Hong Kong protests, one girl searches for her sense of home whilst a city fights for its own identity.

A high-energy, visceral new play, inspired by real events. With original sound design blending euphoric techno and the raw intensity of a Hong Kong riot, enter Millie's world where being an outsider has always been the norm.

Written and performed by Mimi Martin, she’s bold, rebellious, and impossible to resist. "I can be the foreign devil if they want."
