About this show
A true-enough, one-woman, cross-country cabaret-play. Drive across the USA in 2014 with one impulsive, weepy 22-year-old in a spray-painted Honda Civic. She will sing for gasoline, frighten bears with Shakespeare, try out vibrators in Texas, learn to smoke by Arizona and how to heal her heart by Zion. All while travelling with a stranger. Featuring radio hits sung live, Shakespeare proclaimed wildly, feminine pleasure found, and denied truths explored. Following a sold-out run Off-Off Broadway in NYC, Girlfriends is a play that couldn't help but wonder... when it comes to relationships... were they ever just... girlfriends?

3.5 Stars Malinowski queers the rom-com genre with wit and heart, and the result is an easy-to-watch, feel-good show.
4.5 stars A cleverly camp, witty and heartfelt piece of Fringe Theatre that’ll have you questioning your sexuality.
A narrative that has been part of our adolescence in so many forms, with its soundtrack, picaresque episodes, and life revelations prompted by the natural beauty that surrounds us, and that make everything else seem so…
