REVIEW: Bitter Lemons
Reading Time: 2 minutesBitter Lemons, a two-hander by writer Lucy Hayes, follows the contrasting though skilfully interlinked stories of two young women, both newly promoted, fizzing with nerves in anticipation of the biggest professional challenges of their careers to date. The first, a professional goalkeeper (Chanel Waddock) dealing with the grief of losing her father, and the second, an ambitious banker (Shannon Hayes) navigating tokenism in the professional world. By the end of the first act the sales pitch and football pitch collide as their lives meet in parallel.
