27 January - 1 February With Pleasure Productions presents
THE GIRLS GUIDE TO SAVINGS THE WORLD
Written by Elinor Cook
Directed by Roisin Wallace-Nash
“With just the power of our razor-sharp tongues”
Jane and Bella have been inseparable since childhood. Now in their twenties, these audacious best friends launch a feminist blog, convinced they’re on the cusp of starting a revolution. They’re ready to change the world!
But as the comments & clicks roll in, so do the cracks. Bella is hungry for personal success and creative freedom. Jane is drawn toward a domestic life with her partner Toby, who dreams of babies, cooking & renovations. But is that what Jane truly wants?
As their blog grows, so does the tension. Shared ideals buckle under the weight of ambition, desire, and the relentless weight of the male gaze. Banter becomes a battleground, with wounds only a best friend could perforate. The women who once vowed to change the world together must first confront the women they’re becoming. When lifelong loyalties fracture, Jane & Bella must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice…a friendship that once defined them, or the future that calls them.
