As both young women attempt to start afresh, life insists on making it quite impossible for them to stay apart.

Nadia Cavelle’s debut play is a playful yet thought-provoking dramedy about identity and sexuality. It explores the still hugely taboo topic of sex work in the hope of opening up a more informed and compassionate dialogue.
