    About this ebook

    A shamelessly funny and brutally honest play about sex, connection and control, from one of the brains behind hit play and TV show Fleabag.

    Dee's sexual escapades are messy and temporary - just like her shoebox London flat.

    New to the city and in a stopgap job, Dee has the chance to reinvent herself. But how can you change your life when you don't know what you want? Welcome to the secret life of a thirty-three-year-old woman.

    Touch was first produced by Soho Theatre and DryWrite at Soho Theatre, London, in July 2017.
