GOOD GIRLS bounces between the teenage chaos of the noughties and the equally chaotic present day's adulting. From munching Meanies and skulling sneaky cans to mid-life crises and sneaky affairs, life has become very complicated... and it's all about to hit the fan!

This new work by playwright Clare Monnelly (Charlie's A Clepto, The Hare) and directed by Aaron Monaghan(Playboy of the Western World, Tarry Flynn) brings us on a journey where old girlfriends regroup together for the first time in years. But beneath the niceties, tensions brew. They're not girls anymore, and today back in the old garden shed where they used to skull cans as teens, it's all going to kick off. At thirteen years old they were sure they wanted the same things from life. Now, they're not even sure they like each other.
