LUV, a pitch black comedy, drags us through the suburban subcultures where texting, clubbing, internet dating and stalking help us stumble towards what we want most – Love. 

Ricky, part time cleaner, full time lothario, believes the key to someone’s heart is breaking and entering. Jacques, Gay White Male, is clean, cut and out for a good time – preferably capturing it all on camera. Michelle, a cosmetic surgery addict, quests for perfection only to succumb to irreparable damage. And Gemma, a desperate wannabe WAG, wants a football star to call her own, and will do the whole team to get to him.

LUV will be performed by Daniel Blacker (Skins, Hollyoaks), Sean Hart (Godfather Death, Casualty), Sara Pascoe (Free Agents, Timeout’s rising star of Comedy and 2008’s runner up in the ‘So you’re think you’re funny’ and ‘Funny Women’ competitions), and New Zealand star Aidee Walker (Shortland Street, Outrageous Fortune, The Locals).

LUV was written and directed by Thomas Sainsbury. In 2008 Thomas directed performances of his plays Loser, Beast, Gas, 

The Mall andThe Feminine. This year Thomas has directed a performance of his play . . . and then you die at the Tristan Bates and A Simple Procedure at Pleasance Theatre. His plays Main Street and Loser are currently being filmed for the screen.

Performances: 7:30pm July 28th to August 15th 

(no performances Sunday)

Venue: The Tristan Bates Theatre
