About The Play

About The Play

Owen consummates his marriage but not with the bride. Julia’s handyman won’t do the job he’s paid for. Russell might be the grandmaster of the squalid, meaningless one night stand but all he wants to do is hold hands on the London Eye. And Frances…Frances isn’t looking for commitment. Not now, not ever.

A series of encounters linked by a liaison in a hotel bedroom, Modern Dance for Beginners is a cruelly comic play about love and sex.
