DESTINY

They say it’s my own fault. Basically it must be, for I am Destiny. This critically acclaimed performance written and performed by Florence Espueut-Nickles opens STAND ALONE Festival 23

Destiny dreams big. She dreams of glamour. If J-Lo can make it out of The Bronx, Destiny can make it out of Hill Rise Estate in Chippenham. She is desperate to get away from the hopelessness she grew up with.

Destiny lives in one of the dreariest housing estates in Britain. We follow her dramatic and desperate attempts to learn to love and to be loved.

The critically acclaimed performance, with actress Florence Espueut-Nickless on stage, gives insight into the lives of the millions of young people living in poverty in the UK.


The performance is part of STAND ALONE Festival 23 at Teatret Gruppe 38.

Tobacco Factory’s vision is to build an inclusive creative community rooted in its home in South Bristol. The theatre strives to nurture talent and to give the audience memorable experiences with new English drama.

It is convincingly told. By a lovable character who manages to lift his hood out of despondency.

Political and social theatre at its best. It is an incomparable text and an incomparable performance on stage. The performance is intense and interesting.
