An urgent and explosive play that explores of the pressures on
young people today in the wake of advancing technology. When a
naked photograph of Scarlett goes viral, she becomes the centre of
attention for all the wrong reasons. But while rumours run wild and
everyone forms an opinion, Scarlett just stays silent... With roles
for up to twenty-four young female actors (though it can also be
performed by a smaller cast), the play is perfect for any schools,
youth theatres or drama groups looking to tackle a contemporary
subject in a theatrically exciting way. Specially commissioned by
Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Theatre Royal Plymouth and West
Yorkshire Playhouse, Evan Placey's play Girls Like That was
developed through work with young people from the three theatres
and first performed by their youth theatre companies in 2013. It
was revived at the Unicorn Theatre, London, in November 2014. Girls
Like That was named Best Play for Young Audiences at the Writers'
Guild of Great Britain Awards 2015.
