Description
Two friends. One big bisexual love affair.
Helen and Diana probably should’ve worked this out sooner – In theory, they’ve both got their shit together. They’ve graduated uni. Landed busy jobs. Got nice flats. Finding love is the next step, right? There’s just one small problem, Diana’s got a boyfriend.
It begins small. Pre-work coffee datesstealing kisses in the dark, inconspicuous hand-holding – but things soon escalate, and Helen and Diana have to figure themselves out in the margins of the lives they’ve created for themselves.
A new play about love, queerness and trying to make enough room in your calendar to sleep with your best friend.
