    The Diary of a Teenage Girl recounts the coming-of-age adventures of Minnie Goetze, a San Francisco teenager who begins a secret affair with her mother’s boyfriend.

    Minnie’s sexual awakening begins as the hippie movement fades and punk rock is on the rise. Yearning to be loved and treated like a grown-up, her rebellious teenage nature clashes with the newfound demands and responsibilities of adulthood.

    1976, San Francisco. Fifteen year old Minnie Goetze begins a secret affair with Monroe, a man more than twice her age…and her mother’s boyfriend. Lonely and artistic, Minnie chronicles her trials through expressive drawings and painfully honest missives confided to a tape recorder – but it’s only a matter of time before this precocious teen is in way over her head…

    Based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Phoebe Gloeckner, which was later turned into a major award-winning motion picture film starring Bel Powley, Alexander Skarsgård and Kristen Wiig, Marielle Heller’s explosive play is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment.

    ‘A lacerating indictment of predatory male self-indulgence’ The New York Times

    ‘Stunning’ Time Out New York

    ‘A moving no-bullshit exploration of the lives of young people and the older people who shape them, I’m almost willing to buy you the tickets myself’CBR
