Description
Ashley is 16 and has spent her entire life in Medway. Her knowledge of sexual health is extensive, with 2,354 leaflets that she's counted over 1,582 times. Now, at 7:48 p.m., she'll have been dating Ollie for exactly three months - a milestone he thinks signals it's time to take their relationship to the next level.
But what happens when someone with such a strong sense of control tries to take a risk? Natalie Mitchell's play Germ Free Adolescent is a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of OCD, relationships, and what it means to be 'normal'.
First performed at The Bunker in London in October 2019, the play was developed with young people, youth workers, and mental health services in Kent. It's a fierce and irreverent love story that challenges our assumptions about identity and relationships.
