Drama Queen

Jessica’s parents have split up and she is facing a new life of take-away pizza and cold beans with her loveable but very scatty mother. Somehow this doesn’t seem fair ? Jessica didn’t have any say in the matter. The more Jessica ponders, the more she starts to feel that there must be some underlying order to love, life and destiny. She begins by testing her elaborate theory on a best friend, then sets her sights on bigger things, with rather unexpected results ? for her and for her mother and father. Rich in pathos and brilliantly observed, this is a very funny and touching exploration of a teenager’s experience with the rules of attraction.
