Publisher's Summary
When they met at an airport, it was love at first sight. But in time, everything collapsed. As an unnamed but unforgettable woman muses on her life—from meet cute to marriage and parenthood—her recollections inexorably build to a devastating truth. In this shattering performance, Carey Mulligan, star of the critically lauded drama An Education, captivates audiences with playwright Dennis Kelly’s harrowing ruminations on family, ambition, gender, and violence. An acclaimed Off-Broadway play, the gut-wrenching world of Girls & Boys now thrives as an Audible Theater production.
After the play, this program includes an interview with Tony-winning playwright Dennis Kelly, who shares the inspiration behind his work.
Note: Girls & Boys is intended for a mature audience and contains graphic descriptions of violence.
Critic Reviews
“This is a one-person show. And what a person. Mulligan is extraordinary in Dennis Kelly’s gripping new play.” (The Observer)
“A devastating tour-de-force from Carey Mulligan.” (The Telegraph)
“Lyndsey Turner’s production is a knock-out. A Hollywood megastar holding her own in an experimental but somehow also massively crowd-pleasing solo show - this is pretty rare.” (Time Out London)

Compelling
Shocking but thought provoking monologue performed by Carey Mulligan. The hard parts are near the end. Superbly delivered.

Wonderful performance and surprising plot
I was not at all familiar with this play and was certainly absorbed in every word.
Definitely worth a listen.

As good as the play
I saw this in NY in 2018 and Carey brings the fullness of theatre to this performance. Exceptional.
