At six years old, Rachel knows that adults think she's an idiot. They're wrong. But she decides to stay calm and take revenge by streaking bogeys on her bedroom walls.

Now as Rachel strides bravely towards adolescence she shares her essential lessons on surviving childhood - her very own crash course in growing up. Be warned: contains uncensored accounts of hideous grown ups, muscly men in red swimming trunks and the sexual prowess of King Kong.

'I'll Show You Mine' is a UK Premiere and sequel to hit show from Tangram Theatre 'Almost 10' "Deliciously bittersweet, you'll rediscover your childhood." (Le Point – France)
