A event held at The Station on Thursday 20th May. The event starts at 19:00.


Millie is not like other girls. In fact, ever since she was little she actively traded in her fairy tales for mud and cut off her ringlets to stop the nickname goldilocks. Now she's on a quest to work out what it means to be one of lads, whilst she explores and subverts the insidious routes of gender stereotypes, turning what she thought she knew on its head. Join Millie as she battles against the assumptions of her former self, when being 'not like other girls' is not all that it seems. A witty, comedic and truthful insight into growing up opposing the female narrative.
