Synopsis

This is a seriously scary look at filthy, outer suburb, cigarette-smoking scrags Jenny, Amanda and Sheryl. If you thought boys were crude and disgusting when they mob together, these three dirty skanks will have you dry wrenching into your stubbie-holder from the word go. Jenny, Amanda and Sheryl could have been the school captain, vice president of the local council or even a shopkeeper. However, their antics with their boyfriends, Peanut, Booga and Pigface somehow distract them from their futures as anything but lower class. Meeting at the local cinema for their weekly ritual of movie going, the three young girls come together to fester their outwardly disgusting habits, language and home secrets.

Period

This one act play is set in current day Australia, with current day values, accents and personalities.
