Dirty Great Love Story (Modern Plays)

Dirty Great Love Story (Modern Plays)

by Richard Marsh (Author), Katie Bonna (Author)

Synopsis

Two hopeful, hapless romantics get drunk, get it on, and then get the hell away from each other. In her eyes, he's a mistake. A mistake who keeps turning up at parties. In his eyes, she's perfect. He's short-sighted. This achingly funny, romantic catastrophe fuses poetry and prose to ask can a one-night stand last a lifetime. A very human tale of good intentions and bad timing. Winner of 2012 Fringe First (for innovation and outstanding new writing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe), Dirty Great Love Story is a tale of the chance of love in a one-night stand.
