Details

Drive across the USA in 2014 with one impulsive, weepy 22-year-old in a spray-painted Honda Civic. She will sing for gasoline, frighten bears using Shakespeare, try out vibrators in Texas, learn to smoke by Arizona and may heal her heart if they ever reach California. She will even bring along a stranger: a pragmatic, polyamorous Polish person who makes her question everything she knows about intimacy.

A one-woman play that looks back at her true memories. Laugh your way through her tears.

Emulating a modern day Juliet or a more sexually progressive Carrie Bradshaw, Scout will twirl her curls from her window…

I couldn’t help but wonder... When it comes to relationships… were we ever just… GIRLFRIENDS?

© Retained to all joyfully sung songs.

Content warnings: discussion of female pleasure, orgasm, queer shame, and body dysmorphia. Recommended age 16+.
