DIRTY GREAT LOVE STORY at Soho Theatre

DIRTY GREAT LOVE STORY, written and rhymed by Richard Marsh and Katie Bonna, has now opened at the Soho Theatre, directed by Pia Furtado.

The show played at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it received a Fringe First award for innovation and outstanding new writing, as well as a Best Actress nomination from The Stage for Katie.

Can a one-night stand last a lifetime? In her eyes, he’s a mistake. A mistake who keeps turning up at parties. In his eyes, she’s perfect. He’s short-sighted. These hopeful, hapless romantics shamble through bleary mornings after, merry Christmas parties and cider-soaked festivals – but can they get together? Or even get breakfast? An achingly funny on-off love story of good intentions and bad timing.

Reviews from the Edinburgh run:-
Dirty Great Love Story does exactly what it says on the tin - and they could throw in the adjectives Lovely, Witty, Delicious too... Warmly and fuzzily recommended.
Independent *****

This is the kind of show that simultaneously restores your faith in human nature and the Fringe... the gag-filled, gutsy writing just keeps on coming... Bliss.
Telegraph ****

Comic precision, heart and unflagging pace... Laughs are frequent, unsignalled and brilliant.
Times ****

As was my favourite show of the week, Dirty Great Love Story, a romantic comedy that was deftly conjured without prop or undue pizazz.
Observer

Richard Marsh and Katie Bonna’s two-person romantic comedy shows that a simple relationship drama paired with sophisticated storytelling can be clever and fun – and that sometimes that’s all you need.
