Pack of Girls

Pam is fed up with life – her husband Tom barely notices her or the kids, and is always off playing rugby or down at the clubrooms. Is this really all there is to life? A friend mentions that she’s started playing rugby and suddenly Pam decides if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! She has friends who want to give it a crack — and maybe beat the local men’s rugby team. Go the Hurridames!

David Geary’s Pack of Girls is a funny, insightful play about a group of rural women who decide to give the blokes a run for their money. There are also blokes in this show, and women who double as blokes! Unlike Foreskin’s Lament, rugby is played onstage.
