Gloria Don't Speak, Lucy Apps

Gloria has a learning disability. She’s nineteen, and there’s nothing to do except wander the local parks, look for friendship and keep out of trouble – or go round Jack’s. Jack needs Gloria's company, but he’s unpredictable and angry at the world.

After an act of violence, their friendship has to end. Now Gloria's on her own. But when she hears Jack's out of prison, her whole world is turned upside-down.

Heartbreaking and beautiful, Gloria Don’tSpeak is a deeply empathetic portrait of awoman dealing with vulnerability, violence– and the desire for connection.
