Lucy is unassuming, average and awkward. And when it comes to sex, what she lacks in experience, she makes up for in curiosity. But that’s all set to change. On a night of firsts, she opens the door to a world of
relationships and sex that she had only ever dreamt about. But is the reality all she had hoped it would be?

GirlPlay is an exploration of love and sex spun out in slam.
