Modern Dance for Beginners

​

Modern Dance for Beginners is an insightful, honest, naughty and complex play revolving around commitment, fidelity, love, marriage and sex.

​

With quick witted and fiery dialogue we observe characters wrestling with a lack of satisfaction amongst their stinging cynicism and ever present unmet hunger for love.

​

Two skilled actors take on 8 roles in this hilarious merry-go-round of adultery, comedy and misdirected passion.

The Herts Advertiser said the production was a "hilarious, poignant and impressive two-hander" which "plays for laughs and certainly succeeds" with "excellent performances, directed with a light and comedic touch", accompanied by fantastic audience feedback:

​

“loved it, mesmerising, thoroughly hypnotic, seriously brilliant, had to wipe away tears of both poignancy and laughter".
