“No one likes crusty knickers and a broken heart. But that’s just life, isn’t it?”
Three friends grow up under an ancient tree. They’re filthy, brutal and full of hope. By turns hysterical and poignant, Playfight is a 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.
The multi-award-winning team of playwright Julia Grogan, Theatre Uncut and Grace Dickson Productions present Playfight, shining a vivid light on adolescent desire in a landscape of rising sexual violence.
Publishing in conjunction with the run at Roundabout at Summerhall, Edinburgh Fringe from 1st August.
