Girls & Boys
An unexpected meeting at an airport leads to an intense and passionate love affair. Soon the young woman (Hadewych Minis) and her great love start to settle down. They buy a house, get married, have two children and juggle careers. The life they have built together is happy and comparable to many, but gradually the fairy tale crumbles and their lives take a disturbing turn.
The acclaimed Girls & Boys by playwright Dennis Kelly is like a contemporary anti-Medea. A monologue that starts as a hilarious fairy tale and turns into an unimaginable nightmare.
