Description
A bittersweet comedy about gender, sexuality and being away from home. Rotterdam explores the complexities of identity and relationships through the story of Alice, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery after sending an email to her parents revealing her gay identity. However, just as she begins to navigate this new chapter in her life, her girlfriend reveals that they have been living as a man, forcing Alice to confront a question she never thought she'd ask: what does it mean to be straight? This poignant and humorous exploration of the human experience is set against the backdrop of Rotterdam. First performed at Theatre503, London, in 2015 before transferring to Trafalgar Studios, London, in 2016.
