Dirty Great Love Story Summary

Dirty Great Love Story by Richard Marsh

Two hopeful, hapless romantics get drunk, get it on, and then get the hell away from each other. In her eyes, hes a mistake. A mistake who keeps turning up at parties. In his eyes, shes perfect. Hes short-sighted. This achingly funny, romantic catastrophe fuses poetry and prose to ask if a one-night stand last a lifetime. A very human tale of good intentions and bad timing. Winner of 2012 Fringe First (for innovation and outstanding new writing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe), Dirty Great Love Story is a tale of the chance of love in a one-night stand. This second edition was published to coincide with the 2017 revival of the play and contains some changes to the original script.

Dirty Great Love Story Reviews

Comic precision, heart and unflagging pace . . . Laughs are frequent, unsignalled and brilliant. * The Times *
Warmly and fuzzily recommended * Independent *
This is the kind of show that simultaneously restores your faith in human nature * Daily Telegraph *
Marsh and Bonna are masters of observational character comedy * Scotsman *
Thoroughly likeable two-hander about a one-night stand * Metro *
Almost addictively loveable * Time Out London *
A peppy and restorative rom-com full of mishaps and mayhem . . . [and] unassailable good-natured charm. * Evening Standard *
A . . . verbal buffet of wedding snogs, drunken clinches, awkward poshos, and uncharacteristically flamboyant declarations of love . . . it's great seeing a show grow from a poetry reading in a Balham pub to a teeny-tiny fringe space to the dirty great hall of a West End theatre, and these two klutz fill it adorably. * Time Out London *
A wry, funny, sweet-natured variation on the archetypal boy-meets-girl story . . . I believed totally in their stumbling, on-off relationship . . . The pleasure of the piece lies in the language . . . the ideal show for couples on an apprehensive first date. * Guardian *
I laughed out loud and so did everyone else . . . This is a feelgood romp-ette * The Times *
A good second-date show for young professionals. * Daily Mail *
This 2012 Edinburgh Fringe hit couldn't be cuter if the ushers handed out kittens . . . Any show that has people going "awwww" at regular intervals has hit its audience's sweet spot. * Sunday Times *
Oh boy, how we need this little heart-warmer now. * Jewish Chronicle *
Dirty Great Love Story is packed with unexpected rhymes and deft comic imagery . . . a feel-good show * Stage *
I'd lay money on this reaching the big screen. * Spectator *
