SISTREN at Griffin Theatre Company

In 2026, sell-out, cult hit SISTREN is back, and if you snooze this time… I’m sorry but we don’t know how to help you.

Isla and Violet are a ‘lethal combination’. Their self-righteous headmaster thinks that’s an insult. They think it’s a cute name for a girl group.

Too-smart, too precocious and way too outspoken, it’s no surprise when these self-proclaimed soulmates are  S E P A R A T E D  until the end of the year. But the world outside their South London school is a divisive one for a cisgender Caribbean diva and her ‘Ethel Cain adjacent’ transgender bestie. As their cosmic connection is tested, one key question arises—will Isla and Violet be pulled apart, or will they reign supreme? 

SISTREN is that rarest of things: a play that feels like a true original. Chaotic, sprawling, yet laser-focused, it’s like chugging five cans of Red Bull then doomscrolling with YouTube.

It’s back for a good time not a long time, don’t miss this smash-hit that sold out before it even opened.
