The innocent sounding Girls & Boys is a searing one- woman show by celebrated playwright Dennis Kelly. A high- wire act balancing comedy and drama, which has stunned audiences in London and New York, its stellar solo role is brilliantly filled here by Justine Clarke.

She meets him in an airport queue and sparks fly. Their passionate love affair takes them to marriage, a mortgage, and children – an ordinary family life. Her natural working-class wit works to her advantage, and she unexpectedly starts rising above her allotted rung on the British social
ladder. The power dynamic between them shifts – the imperceptible cracks become yawning gulfs – but when the house they built begins to fall, nothing prepares her for what happens next.

A ticking time bomb, Girls & Boys is an engrossing, edge-of-your-seat play that shifts gears from Fleabag-like wit to harrowing shock in a matter of seconds. It will leave you breathless.
