We need your help
to deliver the touring production of Playfight in 2025 and offer an engagement programme addressing violence in adolescent relationships
Playfight is an award winning new play by Julia Grogan (The Stage Top 5 to Watch) that explores the rise in violence against young women in adolescent relationships. The play received an overwhelming response when it premiered at the Paines Plough Roundabout, Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024
"Stunningly accomplished" The Observer *****
"A marvellous jewel of a play" The Times *****
"Played with a punk-rock pace" The Guardian ****
We are taking the play on tour in 2025 and we need your help to raise awareness on the play’s urgent theme of violence towards young women by supporting this production and a series of workshops for 16 - 18 yr olds
“A blinding, sucker-punch of a play, honest, hilarious, heartfelt and the wittiest writing out there. Grogan is who we’ve been waiting for!” Phoebe Waller-Bridge
