HER
Him and Her. They go way back. Pals since they were babies and totally inseparable, until they weren't. Loosely reconnecting at high school, they're now 17 and barely recognise each other. What can guys and girls really have in common anyway? How could they possibly understand each other now? After everything that's happened? He's seen some things. And she's about to. Now, they'll need each other more than ever. HER is a play about the damaging effects of gender inequality, the truth about consent and asks; how can you be the change you want to see in the world when you feel like the world is fighting against you?
