Isla and Violet are a 'lethal combination'. Their self-righteous headmaster thinks that's an insult. They think it's a cute name for a girl group.
Too-smart, too precocious and way too outspoken, it's no surprise when these self-proclaimed soulmates are 'separated' until the end of the year. But the world outside their South London school is a divisive one for a cisgender Caribbean diva and her 'Ethel Cain adjacent' transgender bestie. As their cosmic connection is tested, one key question arises - will Isla and Violet be separated, or will they reign supreme?
The blazingly talented performer Iolanthe (seven methods of killing Kylie Jenner) makes her playwriting debut, sharing the stage with her IRL bestie, the extra-ordinary Janet Anderson (Overflow). The lines of fiction and friendship intertwine in this transcendent study of sisterhood across class, cultural and interdimensional boundaries.
