“You definitely want to f*ck her but you don’t want to know her. You certainly don’t want to stay for breakfast.…”

Two best friends are about to go on yet another night out. Our protagonist, known as ‘She’, is hoping to win over her crush - Isaac the bartender, at their favourite drinking spot. That night, her best friend Trixie decides to invite a group of men home that she likes the look of, promoting She as her sexy, obtainable friend, to help seal the deal. But when She wakes up the next day, confused, sore, laid next to a man she doesn’t recognise, she is forced to re-evaluate everything she thinks she knows about her friendships, identity and sexuality.
4 is a one-woman play that tells the story of one woman’s immediate response to a sexual assault, fuelled by a toxic friendship and crisis of identity.
4 premieres at Park Theatre, 16-21 May 2022 as part of the Come What May Festival.
