The Girlfriend Experience by Alecky Blythe
A true-life play about friendship, heartbreak and business enterprise... in a seaside brothel.'Funny, touching and absolutely filthy.. a hugely entertaining eye-opener of a show'
* Telegraph *'Poignant, sometimes disturbing, often riotously funny'
* The Times *'These women aren't patronised or made into gargoyles: their sentences are gorgeous. They simply reveal their lives. What more could you want from the theatre?'
