ABOUT THE SHOW

An unexpected meeting at an airport leads to an intense, passionate, head-over-heels relationship. Before long, they begin to settle down. Buy a house, juggle careers, have kids – theirs is an ordinary family. Until suddenly their world starts to unravel and things take a disturbing turn.

After captivating West End and New York audiences in 2018, Girls & Boys makes its Australian Premiere at MTC, delivering a stunning one-woman show that begins as a beguiling tale of universal truths, before hitting home with the full force of a tsunami. This is theatre at its most raw, and most affecting – a mesmerising new work from the Tony Award-winning British playwright Dennis Kelly (Matilda: The Musical).

Girls & Boys is that unique gift of a play that takes its audience from uncontrollable laughter to utter devastation in just seconds. In the hands of Helpmann Award-winning director Kate Champion (Never Did Me Any Harm), and starring Robin McLeavy (Miss Julie), this promises to be theatre that will stay with you long after the curtains close.
