A short play written by Sophie Underwood, Gotta Get With My Friends was performed at Matchstick Theatre’s Hits and Pieces and the Cockpit in 2024. The night featured four 15-minute plays inspired by the Spice Girls’ hit song Wannabe.
The night received multiple 4-star reviews.
“The plays were short and snappy, brimming with original and fun ideas. My particular favourites were ‘Gotta Get With My Friends’ and ‘Friendship Never Ends’” – Theatre and Tonic.
“[The actors’] delivery, brimming with witty references to Spice Girls lyrics such as if you wanna be her lover, you gotta get with her friends, left the audience in stitches. Amidst the laughter, the script adeptly tackled profound themes of infidelity and the intricate dynamics of contemporary relationships.” – A Young(ish) Perspective.
