INEXPERIENCEWritten by Douglas MaxwellDirected by Sally ReidA Pitlochry Festival Theatre ProductionInexperience by award-winning playwright Douglas Maxwell is a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy about touch, memory, and the choices that shape a life.Robin doesn’t do mess.

Not in his house, not in his work, not in his heart.

A meticulous Sheriff Clerk, he keeps himself apart—safe, orderly, untouchable.

Until Iris walks back into his life.Iris is Robin’s opposite: impulsive, passionate, always chasing the next cause or connection.

Back in the 90s, when they were students, she made Robin a daring promise: they could only ever touch once.

Just once, in their entire lives—in an attempt to preserve a spark that usually fades.

Iris forgot.

Robin never did.Now, decades later, that one perfect touch may finally be within reach.

But can a single moment live up to a lifetime of anticipation?Inexperience is a moving, playful exploration of intimacy in a culture where physical contact is anything but simple.

With humour, warmth, and emotional bite, Maxwell asks: what’s the best way to live? Do you dive into life’s chaos, or stay apart and unscathed?[https://www.aberfeldy.com]
