"I’ve been thinking about time. Every second. The ugly bits, the fuzzy bits. The bits so shameful you feel your knickers shimmy down your legs and bury themselves underground.”
Three friends grow up under an ancient tree. They’re filthy, brutal and full of hope. By turns hysterical and poignant, Playfight is a “stunningly accomplished” (★★★★★ The Observer) and searing probe of their inner lives as they hunt for love. Proper, ugly love. As their roots sink deeper, the branches stretch higher… so they decide to climb.
An Edinburgh Festival smash hit, Playfight by Julia Grogan is a “marvellous jewel of a play” (★★★★★ The Times) that shines a vivid light on adolescent desire in a landscape of rising sexual violence.
★★★★★ “A whirlwind of chaotic youthful energy.” EdFestMag
★★★★ “Played with a punk-rock pace and these three performances are as indelible as teenage dreams.”
