'“Are we gonna do the dumbarse thing and pretend this car is a spaceship?”
'Smashed is a tale of ‘besties’ Hazel and Ruby. On the verge of adulthood, the future is bright & the past is a disco blur. With impossible high heels stalking through black holes, diva hair and a map to anywhere, these girls know how to play dress-up and how to make believe.
'But in this doll’s house universe of memory and fantasy, of unrestrained joy and discordant elegy, the game becomes increasingly desperate when an impending tragedy threatens to blow everything apart.'
