I ain't smart enough to be someone I'm just smart enough to know I'm no one."Tracey Gordon is a 14 year old black girl living in Hackney, a diverse working class neighborhood in North London. She is defiant, foul-mouthed and loud, the kind of teenager that most adults riding a bus or subway would shake their head at or would avoid or move away from.She is a poor student, who is failing Maths and barely getting by in English. She had dreams of what she could become when she was younger, but she "murdered every one." Her best friend and classmate is Candace, an attractive mixed race girl who is 'love' with a older abusive man, and Tracey herself has eyes for Aaron, a white classmate with soulful blue eyes who also comes from a broken home yet dreams of being a writer.Tracey is a typical wayward teenager, obsessed with music, boys, and sex, who is incapable of foreseeing the consequences of her actions or planning for the future. Just nderneath the tough inner city persona lies a tender and vulnerable child who desires to be loved and respected, and has a deep sense of right and wrong and of loyalty to Candace and Aaron.'Chewing Gum Dreams', the winner of the 2012 Alfred Fagon Award, was written and performed by Michaela Coel, who grew up in Hackney. Her 45 minute one woman performance, in front of a packed crowd in The Shed, the temporary space for new plays in front of the National Theatre, was completely captivating, as the audience laughed and occasionally cringed at her ribald comments, tried to keep up with her as she ran madly around the stage, and shared her pain and grief at the conclusion. Unlike the last one person performance I saw on stage the minutes in this play flew by, and I was disappointed to see this splendid performance end as soon as it did. Bravo to Ms Coel for her acting skills and for writing an award winning play that was both entertaining and thought provoking, and to the start of a promising career on stage. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining *by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021* Michaela is brilliant. This story is a bit far from Chewing Gum the show (so if you’re looking to read that you’ll need to go through her Twitter where she posted the chewing gum show bible with all of the scripts and notes) it was an interesting read, but I enjoyed it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ It was a fast read, I hoped there would ... *by H***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018* It was a fast read, I hoped there would be more of it; hence the concise character development. It ended just as I was starting to get into it.At several points, some actions seemed abrupt, too fast and not insinuated.Other than that, it is an interesting point of view and mindset, would definitely give something similar another try. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43379120-chewing-gum-dreams-oberon-modern-plays](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43379120-chewing-gum-dreams-oberon-modern-plays) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
