A brutally funny fever dream about teenagers, desire and female friendship from Miriam Battye (Strategic Love Play, Succession).

We go in, pick one boy each to pull, do that pulling, then come home and eat the chicken dippers I've put in the fridge for us. At what part of that is dying occurring.

Friday night. Four girls. Two boys. Alone in a house. Some of them are in love. Most of them are virgins. Everyone is pretending to know what they're doing.

Tonight, that's all going to change.

The Virgins opened at Soho Theatre, London, in January 2026.
