Cara and Kelly are Best Friends Forever For Life at Pleasance Courtyard (Bunker 3)

Written by the Bruntwood and Women’s Prize Longlisted playwright Mojola Akinyemi, Cara and Kelly are Best Friends Forever For Life is a searing, darkly comic and quick-witted new play. This razor-sharp two-hander throws a spotlight on the frighteningly subtle, yet prevalent, racism still woven within lives and communities across the UK. Told through the eyes of two white teenage girls, this unflinching story explores the intensity of defining friendships, the casual cruelties of adolescent girlhood, and the fine line where loyalty turns into complicity. Both unsettling and darkly playful, it challenges adult audiences to question the slow, insidious rise of far-right ideology and racial violence in the UK.
