Are you listening?
You Heard Me is for anyone who has been underestimated.
Anyone who has been told to shut up.
Anyone who has been afraid to walk home.
You Heard Me celebrates the quiet as well as the loud, the soft as well as the hard.
You Heard Me is a true story. A celebration of a single moment of noise that freed Luca from an attack. Made her understand what it means to take up space. To heal. To be part of something much bigger than yourself.
This is a show about refusing to stay quiet and the power to re-make, re-mould and disrupt. This show exists because without using her voice, Luca wouldn’t.

This performance will be BSL interpreted by Vinessa Brant.

“Addressing the culture of violence against women and the ongoing debate around the issue of women’s safety, the play is, sadly, one for our times.”
“Humour and a sense of play are used, without undermining the severity of this topic, to explore my messy and complicated relationship to relearning how to take up space, apologise less and speak up.”
“You Heard Me isn’t an attempt to bring people down; care underlines everything Luca discusses.”
