Paris has been liberated. Christiane, an eccentric and acutely myopic Parisian waits at Gare Du Nord for a ticket to England to be reunited with her fiancé.

The pieces she creates begin with an idiosyncratic, personal story from which something emerges that is universally moving and funny. Always looking to expose a story's messy mixture of comedy, tragedy and whatever lies in between in a playful stage language that is visually and textually rich and immediate, Horton's work is as accessible as it is insightful and has been presented at theatres, village halls and festivals in the UK and abroad. Horton has recently been made an artistic associate at The Bush theatre and is a member of The Optimists network of young theatre-makers in the Midlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 06, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47436341084338,"sku":"9781408173510","price":24.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/3185853ad2cbf180af6cbc8a08970ab8.webp?v=1778644545","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/mess-and-youre-not-like-the-other-girls-chrissy-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
