About the show
The hell and horror of British high school and an awkward sex ed lesson that slowly unravels out of control. Miss Cooke is trying to wrangle her sixth formers just before they go off to university, but when an intruder alarm interrupts her sex ed class, she and her students have to figure out how to be trapped in space, suffocated by their secrets and shame. Talk Dirty to Me is a locked-door dark comedy that interrogates who gets to want and who gets to be wanted. It explores shame and honesty and what happens when you can't quite seem to fit the script you've been handed.
One interval of 15 minutes. Latecomer policy to be confirmed.
