Brooke has it all: the job, the flat, the girlfriend… but what happens when things go tits up just before your 30th birthday?
Hopeless romantic Brooke is the algorithm writer for a dating app – she literally codes attraction – so when she finds herself unexpectedly single, she decides to give the science of love (online dating) a chance.
A bisexual Bridget Jones for the online generation, this tragicomic one-woman show, and its lovably hapless heroine, is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were too much and not enough at the same time.
Written by Sadie Clark (12 Theatre Stars for 2020, The Guardian) and winner of the TV Foundation’s Netflix Stage to Screen New Voice Award.
