Dirty Great Love Story
Two hopeful, hapless romantics get drunk, get it on, and then get the hell away from each other. In her eyes, he’s a mistake. A mistake who keeps turning up at parties. In his eyes, she’s perfect. He’s 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.
