Jasmine Lee-Jones’s funny and furious play ... is a vivid exploration of Blackness, queerness and the online world ... Lee-Jones’s dialogue is quick, sharp and clever... and she is acute in her accusations, as she fastidiously unpicks the ways the world has piled up injustices against Black women ... Lee-Jones is a brilliant, dynamic writer, and this is a striking debut.
