A punchy and provocative new play by the Bruntwood Prize-winning author of Yen.
Georgie is thirty with dirty secrets. She drinks in her bedroom and hides from the sun. Leah is fifteen with teenage dreams. She practices her cum face and Veets. A lot. All-meat, all-sex, all-vulnerable, all-powerful. There's a first time for everything... Isn't there?
Freak premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014.
