The Girl's Guide to Saving the World Elinor Cook

Jane and Bella are best friends. They’re starting a revolution. But they’re falling out of step. Toby dreams of babies, buggies, and home improvement. But he can’t even father his cat. And that boy keeps telling Jane to take what she wants. But what is that, exactly? Three thirty-somethings attempt to make sense of their own uncertain worlds. Even if it means losing sight of each other in the process.

Winner of the prestigious George Devine Award for 2013, Elinor Cook’s debut play is a sharp and sassy take on the lives of young women today. Frank, fearless and funny, The Girl’s Guide to Saving the World tackles friendship and feminism and what it means to be successful with great wit, understanding and honesty.
