THE PLAYGROUND THEATRE presents
GIRLS AND BOYS
19 MAR | 7:30PM
Directed by Emily Raymond
Performed by Charlyne Francis
An unexpected meeting at an airport leads to an intense, passionate, head-over-heels relationship. Before long they begin to settle down, buy a house, juggle careers, have kids – theirs is an ordinary family. But then their world starts to unravel and things take a disturbing turn. A tragic, violent look at parenthood and trauma.
