About Girls and Boys:

Girls and Boys is a tour de force, a gripping solo performance filled with brutal humour and raw intensity, from one of Britain's most celebrated playwrights.

"I met my husband in the queue to board an EasyJet flight and I have to say I took an instant dislike to the man."

It begins like a typical love story – a boy meets a girl and sparks fly. They embark on an intense, passionate relationship. In time, they settle down, have children, and live ordinary, chaotic lives.

But is everything as it seems? What happens when the home they built begins to fall apart?

Written by Dennis Kelly, the BAFTA, Tony, Emmy, and Olivier award-winning author of Matilda the Musical, DNA and Channel 4’s Utopia, this play showcases his signature style, blending biting comedy with unflinching examinations of human nature.
