The only non-white teenage girl in a West Country village, Jazmin feels different.

She does not want to stay in the village, or have a baby, and she does not want to laugh at racist jokes in the local pub. She wants to get out.

Written and performed by Natasha Marshall, Half Breed is a semi-autobiographical dark comedy about finding your voice and it comes to Swindon's Arts Centre on Saturday, May 5.

Directed by Miranda Cromwell and designed by Ruby Spencer Pugh, it explores the experience of being a “mixed race kid, like 50/50, on the fence, luke warm, inbetween maybe. Trust me, around here I’m about as black as it goes...”

It offers a rollercoaster journey, with comedy as well as troubles, as Jazmin negotiates her way through growing up, ambitions to act, her best friend Brogan, racism and challenging family issues.

Described by The Guardian as “intelligent analysis delivered with emotional intensity,” the play had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017, and a run at London’s Soho Theatre.

Natasha, who plays all the roles, trained on Soho Theatre Young Company’s Writer’s Lab and the Talawa First new-writing scheme.

Half Breed was shortlisted for the Tony Craze Soho Young Writers Award and the Alfred Fagon Award and was nominated for Best New Play in the 2017 UK Theatre Awards.

Suitable for audiences aged 14 plus. Tickets are £14.50, £12.50 for concessions. To book, call 01793 524481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
