My First Time Was in a Car Park
  • London Fringe

'Because the world revolves around me and all I see is what I see.' Mira loses her virginity to her teacher in the car park at her school, she lives by the sea with her mum - she becomes god in the outdoors. The one-woman show invites the audience into the abstract spaces of Mira's mind. Through youthful questioning, ramblings and memories, Mira makes a confession. The play explores the varying ways that trauma manifests and delves into Mira's relationship with her mother, lover and friends. 'It is the interplay between Wood's dialogue and Treves' stand-out acting and delivery that make this play so exceptional.'  - The Seagull 'An explosive mixture of top-notch storytelling and powerful material.' - Highly Recommended Show, Fringe Review 'It's vividly powerful, and I can't give the writing and the performance enough praise for how well they've explored these complexities.'  - We Love Brighton 'It's the use of language that impresses most, with some of the most powerful moments conveyed with the simplest of words..'  - Broadway World Latecomers may not be admitted. Please arrive in good time for the start time of 19:45. Under 18s are not permitted into the theatre for this performance. No re-admittance once the performance has commenced. Refunds and exchanges are not available.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society.
