The hit Edinburgh Fringe and Soho sell-out show returns for 2024.

So they’ve both swiped right. Now they’re meeting for the first time. Facing each other. As if that’s a normal thing to do.

But she’s being uncomfortable, and he’s a total bore. The vibe is horrific and the banter is even worse. But something is keeping them in their seats. Something is making them stay.

With acid wit, Miriam Battye’s new play takes a scalpel to modern romance.

'Sharp, funny and beautifully performed.'
The List
'Electrifyingly good.'
Lost In Theatreland
'Comedic tour de force.'
Guardian
'Heart-wrenching frankness... blistering realism.'
Everything Theatre
'Intricately crafted dialogue... the acting is never less than immaculate.'
Times
'Cynical, fun, and as gripping as a friend’s rapid-fire WhatsApps from a disastrous first date.'
Evening Standard
