Teeth. Talons. Toxicity. This brutal and hilarious one-act play was declared one of the greatest plays of all time for women. Set in an all-girls' boarding school, Numbers depicts a vicious battle of wills between four Sixth Form girls in the hour before a new Head Girl is announced. As the girls vie for the coveted position, old friendships and loyalties give way to ambition and betrayal. Nothing is too extreme in a battle which increasingly proves less about being Head Girl and more about how the girls' conflicting ideologies will affect the rest of their lives.
