Me For You

“Choosing sperm is weird. The one thing we know for sure is these guys are all wankers.”

Holly knows that human-beings have screwed the planet but she’s still desperate to have a baby of her own. She’s tried doing the right thing, but her bamboo toothbrush didn’t reverse global warming. So she’s joined Extinction Rebellion. If only her girlfriend would join too and help save the human race! But are we worth saving? A play about love. In the face of overwhelming evidence that we’re a despicable race of selfish parasites.
