Some strong language. - See more at: http://www.assemblyfestival.com/event.php?id=603#sthash.Xuryjguq.dpuf Prompted by a rash of monogamy bashing by high profile authors and thinkers (and an unlikely conversation about open relationships in Northampton) the Funny Women Finalist and Radio 4 regular has been tracking down sex researchers and polyamorous couples, and surveys Fringe-goers on their own fidelity, to explore age-old conflicts between lust and commitment - bumping into ex-partners and minor celebrities along the way - all to finally answer the question: is monogamy dead?
