Girlfriends

Edinburgh 2026

A true-enough, one-woman, cross-country cabaret-play. Drive across the USA in 2014 with one impulsive, weepy 22-year-old in a spray-painted Honda Civic. She will sing for gasoline, frighten bears with Shakespeare, try out vibrators in Texas, learn to smoke by Arizona and how to heal her heart by Zion. All while travelling with a stranger. Featuring radio hits sung live, Shakespeare proclaimed wildly, feminine pleasure found, and denied truths explored. Following a sold-out run Off-Off Broadway in NYC, Girlfriends is a play that couldn't help but wonder... when it comes to relationships...…
