Worst. Date. Ever. A new comedy musical inspired by true events.
Conceived and written by James Cooper, with direction by Jamie Morton (co-creators of My Dad Wrote A Porno) and music by triple-platinum singer-songwriter Bryn Christopher with Martin Batchelar, comes a new musical romcom about falling in love... with yourself.
When we first meet thirty-somethings Lucy and Peter, we find her stuck upside-down in his bathroom window at the end of their first date. How on earth did they get themselves into this awkward situation? And what happens next? All will be revealed in this riotous romantic comedy with a catchy score as big as its heart. Tackling themes of online dating, toxic social media and crippling self doubt, LOVESTUCK charts the hilarious, humiliating and all too relatable quest for our happy ever after...
Presented by Stratford East and Wildpark Entertainment.
