Following a successful run at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, SHEWOLVES is coming to Borough’s Southwark Playhouse this month.
Described as a ‘coming-of-age story for anyone who has ever been a teen’, SHEWOLVES follows two teenage girls who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Armed with a backpack full of Pop-tarts, ‘Priya’ (Gurjot Dhaliwal) and ‘Lou’ (Harriet Waters) embark on a secret expedition into the wild.
They want to fight back against the climate crises and make real change, but when the wilderness closes in around them, first they have to overcome their differences and make their voices heard.
The show received widespread praise after it premiered at Edinburgh Fringe last year, including being named one of the ‘Best Shows of 2022’ by The Stage.
Despite being at the start of their careers, the two young leads are already seeing success on and off the stage. Harriet Waters – a recent graduate from Mountview in Peckham – has already appeared in an ITV Drama (Scott and Bailey) and Gurjot Dhaliwal, performed at the Vaults Festival this year (Asian Girls in Therapy) after graduating from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
It will appear at Southwark Playhouse in Borough from Wednesday, June 21 and Saturday, July 8 – brought to the stage by SHEWOLVES Productions, in association with Southwark Playhouse and JOP Arts.
Previous audiences drew similarities to the films Booksmart, Little Miss Sunshine and Thelma & Louise.
SHEWOLVES was written by Sarah Middleton and directed by Hannah Stone.
