How To Make Friends and Then Kill Them // by Halley Feiffer //5th Week Hilary 2019

Ada: Beautiful, charismatic, alcoholic. Wants to be an actress but her obsession with alcohol holds her back.
Sam: Ada’s sister. Less beautiful than Ada; plucky, strong-willed, whip-smart. Wants to be a graphic novelist but her obsession with her sister holds her back.
Dorrie: Insecure, hugely self-conscious, desperate to give and receive love. Possessed of one of the purest hearts there is. Her sole purpose is to Ada and Sam.
Friendships never work in threes.

Left to their own devices by their alcoholic mother, Ada and Sam cultivate an insular world into which they soon draw a third wheel – a pockmarked, limping wallflower named Dorrie. In the years spanning childhood to young adulthood, these three troubled girls learn to lean on each other completely. When a horrible accident turns their reality upside down, they find they must decide whether they will continue to foster their familiar, co-dependent cycle – or whether they will break free, with or without each other’s aid.
Halley Feiffer’s debut play tackles two decades of friendship, three girls finding ways to fill each other up and tear one another down as they try and succeed in the big, bad world.

Feiffer, who is quickly developing a reputation for fearlessness in approaching mercurial womanhood, has granted Coningsby Productions the rights to perform her 'very dark comedy' (New York Times) for the first time in Europe. Asking us to question what plays about women can be, this production promises to probe questions of which we are all rightly afraid.
