Cara and Kelly are Best Friends Forever For Life is the searing new play from the brilliant mind of Mojola Akinyemi. A darkly comic two-hander that exposes the nastiest sides of teenage girlhood.  

It’s 2013. Cara and Kelly are 14 and in the prime of their lives! – Kelly’s smashing it on the netball team. Cara’s certain that love is blossoming with her dream crush. Most importantly, they know they’ll be best friends forever. For life. When things start to go wrong, they know exactly who to blame: a new face who changes everything. Things that once seemed so certain are no longer quite so clear. Cara and Kelly, who’ve never had to doubt each other before, start to question how far they’re willing to go for their friendship.

Blending together elements of comedy, drama, and horror throughout its 1-hour runtime, Cara and Kelly are BFF4L truly gets inside you. Using elements of the company’s own experiences being young Black girls in majority white schools, it turns that trauma on its head and asks what it means to come of age in a country you feel has left you behind, whether that is true, or not.
