#ManicStreetCreature Manic Street Creature was one of my stand-outs of the festival. Powerful storytelling and impactful music. Tender then raw. Soaring then coming apart at the seams. The kind of show that gets in underneath your skin and you can’t shake it off. Superb theatre.

Highlights from Edinburgh Festival Fringe Day 3 Manic Street Creature by Maimuna Memon is gut wrenchingly good #Hungry - killer script, beautifully directed by Katie Posner - she/her BLOODY ELLE is heartbreaking & hilarious in equal measure - I’ll never look at guacamole in the same way Lauryn Redding

Manic Street Creature absolutely blown away by your show yesterday. Never seen such a level of conviction and confidence. Really wonderful. I hope you’re carrying it on somewhere!

So out of 35 shows I saw in five days my favourites were Manic Street Creature, BLOODY ELLE, Paines Plough hungry, KETCHUP productions Jesus, Jane Mother and me, and Colin Hoult the death of Anna mann. I will now recover from Covid (cough, cough). #EdFringe2022

This is your reminder to stop what you’re doing IMMEDIATELY and book a ticket for Ruckus at Southwark Playhouse by @jenna_fincken @WildcardTheatre

Still thinking about @jenna_fincken’s play #Ruckus, running at Southwark Playhouse until 29 Oct. ‘Did you see it?’ she asks as we witness a relationship poisoned by coercive control. The writing is so powerful, it’s not understating the case to say that it could save lives @WildcardTheatre

#THEATRE #REVIEW Ruckus Southwark Playhouse @WildcardTheatre 'Jenna Fincken’s debut play and, if this devastating piece is anything to go by, she has a long and successful writing career ahead' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thereviewshub.com/ruckus-southwa… #London

Still thinking about this terrific play. Fincken’s hard hitting hour long piece about coercive control leaves a lasting impact. Review via The Reviews Hub Southwark Playhouse #RUCKUS

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ruckus is a powerful, thrilling, exciting, fast-moving, 65-minute play written and performed by Jenna Fincken. Southwark Playhouse john groves londontheatre1.com/reviews/ruckus…

“[Jenna] is a very physical actor, using her whole body, especially her arms, hands and face frenetically and with great imagination…by movement director Christina Fulcher” Plus incredible collaboration by stellar team! 🤍 @WildcardTheatre @jenna_fincken #movementdirector

RUCKUS by @jenna_fincken @WildcardTheatre Southwark Playhouse is essential watching and such a commendable piece of theatre. So powerfully and cleverly held 👏🏻 I felt comforted and extremely grateful. THANKYOU.

“An elastic physical language created by Movement Director…turns the impact of Ryan’s coercion into a physical manifestation…@Georgia___Green brings together the technical elements with great poetry and precision, creating a visceral and painful piece of storytelling” #teamwork
