Saturday Girls by Miranda Michalowski (Digital Drama Script)

Description

DIGITAL DRAMA SCRIPT | OVERVIEW

Saturday Girls is a joyous celebration of teenage girls, their friendships, and their flaws. But it’s also an invitation to question how these girls are mistreated. This text brilliantly captures how the path toward queer joy is paved with miscommunications, misinterpretations, missteps, and failures of all kinds. Humorous, tragic, and packed full of dancing, this is a script that unpacks its themes with a sense of silliness and a wild physicality.

SYNOPSIS

Sam and Joey are best friends. They’re both on the Year 10 dance team at a prestigious Sydney private school. But when Joey’s ex-boyfriend leaks her nude photo, her world is turned upside down. Meanwhile, Sam’s caught up in her own problem: the debate partner who’s like, totally in love with her. When scrunchies start to go missing, and rumours fly about a kiss at a party, the girls find themselves spinning into unfamiliar territory.

Saturday Girls is a tender and hilarious story about queer girlhood, high school sexual politics, and growing up in a world that’s determined to box you in.
