Dunedin Fringe

It is 1999. It's the female toilets in DAZZLER'S!, a tired, shabby nightclub in Essex on the outskirts of London. Secrets, lies and more than just a little betrayal over cocktails.

This quirky black comedy packs a punch as it explores the bonds of friendship and divorce in the stark florescent light of the girls lavvie's. Pull up a pint and see where it all ends!

Originally a short play created by Ruth Carraway as part of the 2018 4x4 Studio for Emerging Writers through the Fortune Theatre. After an extremely well received first airing via the medium of a rehearsed reading, an extended version of ‘Lavvies’ just had to be written.

'Lavvies' is a light-hearted glimpse into an interaction between intoxicated women in the toilets of a typical nightclub where the emotional trust account of their friendship is tested. The work addresses such topics as infidelity, teen pregnancy, substance use, conflict and sisterhood. The all-female cast represents women at different stages of their lives with a broad range of life histories and experiences. It is hoped that the inclusive and identifiable content of the play encourages a diverse audience who may not usually be attracted to theatre.

‘Lavvies’ has an all female team with a vast wealth of experience within the acting industry.
