A play which explores the five stages of grief in a fun, quick-witted and entirely too relatable way.

Review: Girls Who War, Lion and Unicorn Theatre
A darkly comic flat-share drama where three women face conscription, argue over love and rent, while a 1940s songstress hauntingly narrates: think wartime absurdity meets millennial chaos with killer vocals and sharp satire.
