Age recommended 14+ show contains strong language and themes of an adult nature.
In a specialised unit inside a prison, a group of women discover the music of punk rock band The Slits and form their own group. An outlet for their frustration, they find remedy in revolution. But in a system that suffocates, can rebellion ever be allowed?
Part-gig, part-play, Typical Girls is funny, fierce and furious.
Morgan Lloyd Malcolm is the writer behind The Globe hit Emilia which transferred to the West End in 2019. She has written a number of plays for Hampstead Theatre, The Old Vic, Lyric Hammersmith, Firehouse Productions and Clean Break.
Her new play Mum will premiere at Soho Theatre this autumn.

Some of the themes in Typical Girls might be challenging to engage with, especially if you are personally affected. For this reason, we have created a self-care guide which will help you look after yourself, whilst you’re at the theatre or watching the live stream at home.
This production was originally co-commissioned by Clean Break with the Royal Shakespeare Company who also contributed to its early development.
