LabriMoon? Fullbyrinth? Whatever. We’re saying goodbye with SCENES WITH GIRLS – the chaos, flat‑share cousin to our previous sad‑fun, design‑y, translationy plays about messy people staged in black boxes (and, occasionally, the playhouse).
Tosh. Lou. Twenty-two scenes.
Friends drift off. Boyfriends appear. Group chats die.
But they still have each other. They’re not like other girls. They don’t need the rom-com ending.
This is their love story. And it’s supposed to be enough.
In this sharp, funny, quietly brutal play, three twenty-something women try to work out who they are in a culture obsessed with sex, coupling up, and “having it sorted.” The story is non-linear, messy, funny and painful — full of dark humour, jealousy, codependency, and the low-level panic of being left behind while everyone else seems to have their life together.
Written by Miriam Battye, Scenes with girls follows Lou, Tosh and Fran — three 24-year-olds navigating friendship and self-worth under the pressure of modern romance. Lou throws herself into dating and desire. Tosh commits to radical celibacy. When Fran arrives with a shocking announcement, the balance shifts and the cracks start to show. What follows is both hilarious and heart-wrenching, as their bond is tested in ways none of them expected.
This is a little goodbye to OUDS from us (as we quietly panic that everyone else really does have their life together), and maybe a big hello to OUDS for you — or a goodbye, who knows
We’re keeping it super chill: a couple of weeks, low-stress, high-fun, big girlhood feelings.
