Hot Chicks review – a powerful tale of exploitation and lost innocence – CASCADE
“Whatever they want, it’s on me” chimes Sadie, as she starts her grooming of vulnerable 15 year olds Ruby and Kyla, in Cheney’s chicken shop, based in Swansea.  Two girls from backgrounds of implied poverty and neglect are dazzled by the generosity, power and glamour of this previously unse...

Lovely to see this Swansea story in the Grand today. 4 actors, wonderful story telling, the only unbelievable thing about it was the high scoring hygiene rating on the chicken shop window. Catch it this week. Another triumph for the team at @grandambition.bsky.social

Swansea author Richard E. Rock, came along to see Hot Chicks at Swansea Grand last week. Here's his review

Review Hot Chicks, Sherman Theatre, Grand Ambition by Richard E Rock - Get The Chance
When I was a kid (which was a very long time ago), ask any schoolboy what he wanted to be when he grew up and he would reply, ‘a footballer’. What any schoolgirl at that time might have answered I never discovered, as such social mixing was kept very much to a minimum. A pop … Continue reading Review Hot Chicks, Sherman Theatre, Grand Ambition by Richard E Rock →

Swansea! This weather is grim, right? Whilst the beach is off the cards for all but the most determined of you, we have a nice (dry) alternative to being cooped up at home all holidays! 
Book online today.

Don't miss out on the run of Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond at Grand Theatre this and next week. The Grand Ambition team are knocking it out the park again. This is funny, heartbreaking and powerful theatre with its finger right on the pulse. Top performances all round.

Amazing things happening over at YMCA Swansea YHub last night. Another workshop to support awareness and wellbeing around the themes raised by Hot Chicks. This time, songwriting with our very own Steve Balsamo. And wow! We were blown away by the effort and talent of Swansea's young people.

Our last Cardiff review for Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond has landed. Penned by the author of ACW's English Language Theatre in Wales Review, this Nation Cymru review gives a few clues as to why we had so many sell out shows in Cardiff.

Theatre review: Hot Chicks
Jon Gower Grand Ambition, the Swansea-based theatre company has been around since 2021 which is long enough to see a pattern in their work.
