Aisling’s many credits include Sherwood (BBC), Mr Selfridge (ITV) and Touched (Nottingham Playhouse). She takes the compelling lead role in Dennis Kelly’s gripping drama.
Come and see the UK regional premiere of BAFTA, Tony, Emmy and Olivier award-winning writer’s Girls & Boys.
It’s a tour-de-force one-woman show full of savage humour and raw intensity, performed in 90 minutes in a non-stop powerhouse performance.
Directed by Anna Ledwich, Girls & Boys showcases Kelly’s signature writing style, blending biting comedy with unflinching examinations of human nature.
Aisling Loftus commented: “I’m over the moon to be working with Anna on this and to be doing it in Nottingham is very exciting (and scary). It’s a funny, dark, unforgettable play.”
Director Anna Ledwich added: "Girls & Boys manages to be that rare beast: a funny, provocative, shocking and moving play. It lures you in, charms you, and then pulls the rug out from under you.
“It is a magnificent tour-de-force for an outstanding actress and Aisling Loftus has the wit, steel, vulnerability and power that will make this play sing.”
Girls & Boys starts as a typical love story – boy meets girl and sparks fly. An intense, passionate relationship begins. In time they settle down, have children and live ordinary, chaotic lives.
But beneath the veneer of normality, a disturbing undercurrent is growing.
Their seemingly perfect world unravels, revealing shocking truths about family, violence and what really goes on behind closed doors.
