A biting and hilarious "rom-com" by one of Australia's leading social commentators (and former Literary Manager of the Finborough Theatre), Van Badham. Feisty feminist academic Ishtar is so broke she's living in the photocopy room, following a hefty out-of-court settlement to a toxic male 'troll'. All she has left is her pride. Management consultant Jake is high on life, with a lucrative side gig as a misogynist podcaster and pick-up artist. Until his latest crush - gorgeous Danish librarian Anne - fails to fall for his usual 'game'. Undeterred, he makes Ishtar a cash offer she surely can't refuse to advise him how best to infiltrate Anne's no-nonsense feminist mind. But for Ish to accept such a deal from Jake - of all people - she would be selling her soul. Wouldn't she? This explicit and badly behaved satire of modern manners sees Ish, Jake, their friends and a stranger navigate the battle-of-the-sexes (and the sexless). No one will emerge unscathed... | Banging Denmark (Play )
