    A powerful piece that shows the lives of those who weren't supposed to be there and were never the same again. Well done.

    Hard hitting and poetic, THE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GIRLS is a stunning piece of work. Just how many people on 9/11 were not supposed to be there? Emily tackles this in a unique way, from the perspective of three women with different character traits and situations. This would be stunning when staged, there are so many ways you could bring this great play to life.

    I wasn't supposed to read this! But I did. I'm deeply moved by the use of time and narration and simple repetition in this script. Thanks for this surprising and poignant piece!
