Grief, death, strong graphic language, sexual content, addiction and strobe lighting.

‘I walked inside, and rather than everyone looking at me like I was some sort of weirdo, they just pulled me in.’

Shortly after Andrea is fired from her job, she finds herself overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and depression. She attempts to combat her loneliness through casual sex, but what starts as a distraction, soon threatens to take over her life.

An unmissable new play from award-winning writer Sam Potter. Performed by Alice Lamb. Directed by Offie-Award Finalist Tom Brennan.
