Extract From: The Good, The Bad and The Uncommitted/Extract From: Modern Love/Greedy - T1555856344We will be reading from two extracts and one full length piece with time in between for drinks and discussion. Extract From: The Good, The Bad and The Uncommitted By Debbie Sherwell - Debbie started writing seriously in her forties and has recently completed an MA in Creative Writing for Film, Theatre and Television at City University London. Tired of seeing the same old clich?s portraying single middle aged women as either sexual predators or frumpy and down trodden she decided to write The Good, The Bad and the Uncommitted to show that dating and sex can be fraught, passionate and hilarious whatever your age. Extract from: Modern Love By Emily Warren - Spanning one term at university, Modern Love follows the lives of Ella and Olivia: two best friends who toe the boundaries of friendship, sexual intimacy and obsessive desire. By contrast, best mates Harry and Jonah enjoy a relaxed and secure friendship which is tested when they both fall for Ella. What follows is a romantic game of musical chairs that explores mental illness, sexual consent and love in all its forms. Greedy By Sally McIlhone - Bisexual artist Alex has been with her boyfriend Paul for four years. They're happy(ish). They're best friends and they love each other, but things have gotten comfortable. Alex is bored. In truth, she hasn't enjoyed sex with Paul for... a while. When they're in bed all she can do is think about women. But when traditionalist Paul proposes, asking Alex to give up women forever, she is faced with a choice - can she deny her urges for the rest of her life, or is it better to have one amazing girl-on-girl experience and get it out of her system? Sally McIlhone's second play, Greedy is an intimate portrayal of a life pulled in two equal and opposite directions and aims to challenge preconceptions of female sexuality and identity.Author Debbie Sherwell (The Good The Bad and The Uncommitted).
