Synopsis
A game in which two artists, and friends, debate whether people, places, and things are winners or losers. Through this competition, their friendships are tested as deep-seated beliefs emerge and difference becomes more challenging to negotiate. An all-female cast reinterpret Marcus Youssef and James Long’s original text to offer a contemporary exploration of sisterhood that circles around friendships, female patterns of behaviour, and systemic racism.
