Girls

＂Scorchingly intelligent and as powerful as a gut punch.＂ The Times

Three ordinary girls, Tisana, Ruhab and Haleema. Best friends forever. All the big issues: love, sex, religion... and being kidnapped from their hometown in Nigeria.

Fiercely funny and powerfully political, Theresa Ikoko’s Girls explores enduring friendship, girlhood and the stories behind the headlines that quickly become yesterday’s news.

Winner of the 2015 Alfred Fagon Award and 2016 George Devine Award, Girls is published in Methuen Drama’s Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Daniel Bailey.

Theresa Ikoko was born and raised in Hackney, London. In August 2013, she completed her first full-length play, Normal, which was read at Talawa Firsts’, 2014 and Hightide Theatre Festival, 2015. Her first professionally produced play, Girls, won the Alfred Fagon Award 2015, the George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright, 2016 and was shortlisted for the Verity Bargate Award 2015.
