Winter 2005
"Genuinely hilarious...witty dialogue which wouldn’t go amiss in a sitcom like Coupling or Friends....A fun, familiar evening’s entertainment"

Jane, The Cynic: “Do you ever feel that nobody could fall in love with you because you're about as interesting as pureed parsnips?”    
Lucy, The Dreamer: “I think everyone feels unloved sometimes. But I still dream about being the kind of girl who wears pretty glass slippers and meets princes at balls.”    
Vanessa, The Beauty: “Men just want to sleep with me and women want to force-feed me Jaffa cakes until I weigh 14 stone and break out in spots.”

Sexuality, gender, and identity are brought into question in this clever new comedy by acclaimed writer-director Lisa Cagnacci.

This play ran for a season at the Pleasance Theatre, London, in October 2005
