Split

Award-winning writer Tamar Broadbent and Emma Pritchard’s debut play about teenage female friendship hits VAULT Festival in February. Written and performed by this multi-talented duo, Split is a story about friendship, growing up and finding out who you are through the eyes of someone else.

It’s 2002. Charlotte and Ellie meet on the first day of secondary school. Charlotte’s skirt is too big. Ellie is embarrassed about a verruca in her past. A friendship begins. Spanning five years and set to a millennium soundtrack, Split plunges you into a world of nostalgia as it brings to life the pages of your diary you hoped your mum would never find. When Charlotte just wants to be normal and Ellie just wants to be noticed, can their friendship survive this world of teenage trauma?
