Clothes, cars, dating, attending school, avoiding school, avoiding “the voice of Mum” – there’s this and more on Braidie’s mind. She’s compelled by a local news story – a group of teens, a victim, the accused, the bystanders. 

“The ones who watched the girl get beat up, they aren’t accused of anything. To be accused you have to have gotten in there, down and dirty.”  

But are Braidie and her friends that different from the girls making headlines? When does this behaviour really begin? And does becoming an adult mean we’ll outgrow it?  

The Shape of A Girl is a riveting, honest and humourous look at surviving adolescence. A must see for anyone who knows or remembers what it’s like to be a teen. 

“SO POWERFUL AND REAL, IT LEAVES YOU THINKING ABOUT IT LONG AFTER THE LAST LINE IS SPOKEN…BRILLIANT, INSPIRING THEATRE.”

“A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THEATRE’S SINGULAR POWER TO INTERPRET LIFE’S TRAGEDIES SO THEY HAVE CONTEXT AND MEANING.”
