Play :: If you re an attractive young girl from Romania, which will get you further . . . a GCSE or a G-string? John Cooper's latest play cuts through the political spin and looks at the increasingly complex cultural mix that is London today. Chris, a stressed- out teacher spends his evenings in a Lap Dance club where he meets the beautiful Ylenia, a Romania exotic dancer providing special services for those who can afford it. His wife Marie, an exhausted NHS doctor, finds herself charmed by Sorin, an enigmatic East-European trying to make a fast euro. When Chris daughter, Sophie, college girl and rock-chick wannabe, brings home black musician Billy, the cultural melting-pot begins to overheat. Fast-moving, street-wise and humorous, The Education of a Lap-dancer examines values and morals in a London undergoing rapid cultural change, where sex, as ever, is powerful and irresistible driving force.
