The Royal Court today announced that Rebekah Murrell, Tanya Reynolds and Letty Thomas have been cast in the world premier of Scenes With Girls. 

Written by Miriam Battye and directed by Lucy Morrison, the play will be performed in the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Upstairs from Wednesday 15 January 2020 to Saturday 22 February 2020, and does exactly what it says on the tin;

Tosh and Lou. 22 scenes.
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 other girls.

Shackelton And His Stowaway will be opening the Park90 2020 season at Park Theatre from 8 January to 1 February 2020. Following two sell-out runs at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 and at London’s Cervantes Theatre, the special run will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Antarctic.

Based on real events, the thrilling two-hander offers an intimate portrayal of two men who braved the harsh elements and inhabitable environment of Antarctica – and found themselves fighting for their own survival.
