be mean to me is a moving, intimate portrait of female friendship across time. Shifting between ages 17 and 27, the play follows two young women as they grow up together and apart grappling with love, ambition, and the quiet cruelty that can exist inside closeness. Tender, funny, and heartbreaking, it captures how deeply we can hurt the people who know us best.
