Build a Rocket by Christopher York

An explosive one-woman show following the inspiring story of Yasmin, a sixteen-year-old girl from Scarborough, whose life is not sandcastles, arcades, and donkey rides...she finds herself pregnant and alone in the world.

A unique and bold production propels this hard-hitting yet inspiring story written by Scarborough-born Christopher York. Yasmin takes us on a whirlwind journey through nights out, morning sickness, and school uniforms right up to her son's coming of age. Build a Rocket is a funny and uplifting story exploring triumph over adversity, and challenging perceptions of young motherhood along the way.
