“What happened in your early life that made you so want the shitty version of love that they give you?”

Tosh and Lou have each other. Other friends have come, got boyfriends, and gone. So what? Tosh and Lou are not interested in becoming clichés. They’ll never be like other girls. They won’t sit in a narrative someone else thought up.

This is love. This is enough.

With gob-smacking vitality and originality, this laser-sharp unfolding of millennial sexual politics premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in January 2020.
