'I don't know who I am without you. You're the custodian of every version of me.'

It's 1987. Kylie's about to hit number one, and Jess meets Billy in First-year Juniors. They quickly become inseparable: proper soulmates – the kind who finish each other's sentences and overshare about first kisses.

As they pursue different paths, him in the big city, her in their fading hometown, they can't escape the pull of their friendship – or the arguments and jealousy that come with it.

Following them across the decades, Scenes from a Friendship is a warm, funny and deeply felt look at the bond you share with the person who knows all your flaws but loves you regardless. Jane Upton's play was first performed at Nottingham Playhouse in 2026, directed by Hannah Stone.

Jane Upton's other work includes All the Little Lights, which won the George Devine Award in 2016, and (the) Woman, which was shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting.
