Horrible sound, Confusing, Disappointing, Thought-provoking, Ambitious

See it if You want to see what all the fuss is about. It’s a great premise and the staging is interesting.

Don't see it if You want to see something coherent. Quite a bit of it was just plain unintelligible. Voices through some sort of a synthesizer = garbled. Read more

Confusing, Self-indulgent, Preachy

See it if you like topical original shows about today's black women experience, with some entertaining physical depiction of internet & social media.

Don't see it if you're looking for anything subtle. This is declarative theater that's very heavy handed and direct, and it outlasts its welcome very early. Read more

“ ‘seven methods of killing kylie jenner ’ has its weaknesses, but you'll want to add Lee-Jones to your list of playwrights to watch, and here's hoping we soon see Bannon and Henlon again. Their combined work is a blast of fresh air.”

“The show frustrated me in places, and I find it hard to assess how much of that is actually a token of its success in ignoring me.”

Time Out London

For a previous production

Jasmine Lee-Jones’s powerfully original debut play follows these two female friends having the most blistering, agonising, meme-scattered row of their lives. Nothing’s off-limits, from primary school humiliations to the vast structural privilege that light-skinned women have.

Jones’s dialogue is quick, sharp and clever...[Jasmine Lee-Jones] is a brilliant, dynamic writer, and this is a striking debut.

For a previous production

In short, this play is pure dynamite. I'd even say it'll be one we are going to look back on and say was a defining moment in theatre.

London Theatre

For a previous production

Lee-Jones does not shy away from any difficult topics, and digs into the nuance of the complicated culture we find ourselves in.

The Telegraph (UK)
June 23rd, 2021
For a previous production

Lee-Jones is astonishingly adept at using coruscating humour to leaven her sombre themes...The ingenious aspect of this play is how Lee-Jones’s script and Milli Bhatia’s direction collapse the difference between the Twittersphere and Cleo’s real domestic life.
