Tosh and Lou are teenagers. They have created their own language and their own space. While their contemporaries have gone off with boyfriends, these two have stayed tight and together. They are not like other girls, and they never will be. At least that’s how Tosh sees it. Lucy Morrison directs Miriam Battye’s play which was developed while she was part of the Royal Court Writers’ Group. With recent hits like Seven Methods of Killing Kylie Jenner and Ellie Kendrick’s Hole, the Court has such a good strike rate in discovering distinctive female voices that you’d be a fool to miss out on this one.
“You’re only the greatest person ever invented and he’s some boy who’s probs never had a conversation with a side of the sun before- but like Let’s Be Modest About It” Tosh and Lou. 22 scenes. In a space they have created, using a language they have created, the two girls theorise. Other friends have come, got boyfriends and gone. So what. Tosh and Lou have each other. They’re not interested in becoming clichés. They’ll never be like the other girls. And Tosh is going to keep it that way. “You are becoming a parody, hun. You are becoming like the human equivalent of a fucking Little Mix song.”
