Playfight by Julia Grogan
Under their tree, three 15 year-old girls - Keira, Zainab and Lucy - wrestle with sex, shame and growing up at different paces.
It starts with a game and a dead possum. It ends with someone getting hurt.
Fast, funny, and unfiltered Playfight hurls us into a world where boundaries blur and expectations collide. A viral video, awkward first times and friendship stretched to breaking point. These are the milestones of a coming-of-age story that’s as raw as it is dangerous.
Julia Grogan’s award-winning debut isn’t here to judge or offer easy answers. Instead, Playfight asks what happens when no one teaches you how to look after yourself and you have to figure it out with just your mates, your instincts and the internet.
An Edinburgh Festival smash hit, Playfight shines a vivid light on adolescent desire in a landscape of rising sexual violence.
