The Giffnock Girls
Three childhood friends reunite at a key moment in their lives in Marcella Evaristi's comic drama about sexual identity and mid-life crises in middle-class Glasgow.
Marcella Evaristi's play - both moving and comic - features three childhood friends who re-unite at a key moment in their lives. PJ returns to the family home in Giffnock outside Glasgow after many years in New York to find Gail and Bianca in mid-life turmoil. PJ would love to help but he has personal issues of his own. He left Giffnock as a man but has now returned as a woman. His initials - PJ - stand for Previously John.
