It’s OK, I Still Think You’re Great

It’s Tibby’s 25th birthday and she's throwing a party. Her friends from uni will be there— and they are all doing better than her. Except for Gin, Tibby’s best friend and former housemate, who's back from her native Italy. But when Gin arrives, tensions become impossible to hide, especially from Anika, Tibby’s Polish housemate with the perfect job, the perfect girlfriend, the perfect yoga outfits. As the party draws near, the atmosphere heats in the dingy kitchen of the flat Tibby and Gin used to share. Feelings are untangled, secrets revealed, and rejection emails — constantly, relentlessly, hilariously — opened.
Fresh from Edinburgh Fringe, this ode to kitchen conversations and life in your 20s jumps easily from making you laugh to moving you deeply as Italian writer Raffaella Sero perfectly captures what it's like to be a young, queer, migrant.
