The Girlfriend Experience
Written by Alecky Blythe
18 September - 11 October

"We have Tessa, curvy dress size 14, very bubbly, offers most services. We also have Suzie, curvy dress size 18 to 20, very passionate lady, offers the full girlfriend experience."

 

Tessa has set up a business; a brothel by the sea where mature women specialise in the Girlfriend Experience, a surprisingly caring and sympathetic service.

 

As the women stoically strive to make a living in a competitive market, their personal lives start to crumble. Will they ever have loving relationships outside work and enjoy being girlfriends themselves?

 

This extraordinary play is created entirely from edited conversations recorded inside an actual brothel.

 

* Please note that this production contains explicit sexual references. Suitable for ages 16+
