Scenes With Girls

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.

Scenes with Girls is a love story, but not the kind you might expect. Tosh and Lou, 20-something best friends and housemates, are inseparably devoted to each other. Together, they navigate a world filled with romantic ideals and sexual expectations, all while remaining fiercely determined to carve out their own path-even if it means stumbling along the way and sometimes hurting themselves and others in the process.

Unfiltered, brazenly funny and often uncomfortably flawed, Battye has written a delightfully sharp study of millennial sexual politics and all-encompassing female friendships. Broad City meets Fleabag, with hints of a much grittier Sex and the City, Scenes with Girls will particularly resonate with those still navigating the messy realities of sexual exploration and the complexities of sharehouse life.

CONTENT

Graphic sexual content. Very strong adult themes. Frequent coarse language.

Originally premiering at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 2020, the play is now being brought to life by Deus Ex Femina as part of their Cultivo stream. It will be featured in the company’s 2025/2026 Goodwood Theatre & Studio’s Residency, titled ‘Audentes Fortuna luvat‘ (Fortune Favours the Bold).
