Scenes With Girls
Because sometimes friendship is the greatest love story of them all...
Urgent, messy and painfully recognisable, Scenes With Girls is theatre that gets under your skin and refuses to let go.
Tosh and Lou are best friends. They exist inside a world entirely of their own making, one where the modern pressures of romance and dating no longer apply because they have each other. And that is enough. Right?
But when the outside world begins to creep in, their all-consuming bond is quietly put to the test, forcing both women to confront what it really means to grow up, grow apart, and redefine intimacy.
Razor-sharp, funny and devastatingly familiar, Miriam Battye’s electric three-hander captures the strange comedy and quiet heartbreak of modern connection, where friendship can feel like romance, independence can feel like performance, and everyone is just trying (and failing) to appear like they have it together. Equal parts tragicomedy and emotional gut-punch, Scenes With Girls is a vivid portrait of contemporary womanhood and the ferocity and fragility of female friendship.
Presented as part of Queensland Theatre Company’s DOOR 3 program and Brisbane Festival, Salad Days Collective brings this ferocious theatrical hit back to the stage following a sold-out 2024 season that sparked rave reviews and reportedly prompted at least one audience member to break up with her boyfriend.
