You're only the greatest person ever invented and he's some boy who's probs never had a conversation with a side of the sun before –
but like Let's Be Modest About It
Tosh and Lou. 22 scenes.
Other friends have come, got boyfriends and gone.
So what? Tosh and Lou have each other.
They'll never be like the other girls. They won't sit in a narrative someone else thought up.
This is love. This is enough. This is enough.
Scenes with girls by Miriam Battye premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in January 2020.
This play is published by Faber and Faber.
'A comic, astute commentary on female friendship... beautifully captures the intense language of best friends'
Guardian'A perceptive study of young women looking to each other for a new way to live... Battye [has an] incredible ear for how the internet has infected contemporary rhythms of speech... deeply in tune with the preoccupations of my generation'
Evening Standard'Refreshingly original and dazzlingly exciting... Battye writes this story, with some lovely twists and turns, with enormous freshness and laser-sharp perceptiveness. The dialogues have a gob-smacking vitality and originality. [Her] writing sparkles with both provocative ideas and emotional resonance. It's great. ... If the rest of this year's new writing offer is half as good, I will be in heaven'
