    Design for Living by Noël Coward

    Noël Coward has a legendary reputation - and this play lives up to it!

    Otto, Gilda and Leo all love each other, but due to the world's boring machinations they must keep trying out monogamy - can they, as a three, discover a new... design for living????

    We talk throuples, flouncy theatre comedy, and the timelessness of trying to find a new... design for living.

    We're doing a musical! And trying our very best to discuss the published script rather than the four thousand different live shows that Nancy has obsessively watched.

    This 2013 show is an adaptation of the controversial book (and cult film) American Psycho, but infused with synth and backflips. Strongly recommend listening to the soundtrack for this one as well as reading the play - although for reasons discussed these will! not! match!

    We talk psychology, stock markets, and the relevancy of this kind of guy today.

    Football! Wait no soccer - Soccer!

    This Pulitzer-nommed play from 2016 follows an U17s indoor girls soccer team as they warm up for various games. Very little happens, and it's one of the most devastating plays we've ever read.

    We talk teen archetypes, coming of age, and (unfortunately) whether or not certain play-structures are mimicking of the male bedroom experience.
