Published by Methuen Drama
0 Male 1 Female
They're sayin I brought it on myself
Oh yeah, they've heard about me
Basically it must've been my fault cause I'm me, Destiny
Destiny dreams big
She dreams glamour
She's gonna be an MTV Base backing dancer, you watch
If J-Lo can make it outta the Bronx then Destiny can make it off the Hill Rise estate in Chippenham
She's fearless, ferocious and up for the fight - (she's had to be)
Born below the breadline, she's desperate to see beyond the neighbourhood and find hope in hopelessness
This monologue follows the story of a teenage girl growing up on a rural Wiltshire council estate
After a big night out takes a turn for the worst, Destiny's life spirals out of control as she desperately tries to learn how to love and be loved
