Girls & Boys

A confident working woman talks about meeting her husband, her career opportunities, her work and her wish to be a mother…

But not everything is rosy. We are swept onto the emotional rollercoaster of a life in which her career takes off at the expense of the couple. She and the audience are together, facing a silent husband, until she “decides” and asks for a divorce.

In the chaos, he half-admits the reasons why he has (deliberately) been slowly destroying their relationship for a long time.

Girls & Boys (by Dennis Kelly) is close to documentary theatre and deals with the sensitive subject of infanticide. Some scenes may upset sensitive viewers, but violence is never shown on stage.
