Philomena (Phil) Fyat doesn't open up to people easily but has never felt alone thanks to a sneaky inner monologue known as Mena, a relentless, music box wielding voice focused on her own amusement. It's the summer before their second year at secondary school and Phil is working at Fleamont Flea's Family Pizza Emporium. They'll learn that maybe everyone has a crazy little voice in their head, will they listen? This experimental, student written piece follows a queer cast of characters through a summer of growth, reconciliation, teenage anxieties and worst of all, boredom.
