"Prepare to get weird/cry if you're wanting to hit this one up" Pedestrian TV.
"It's not as much a performance as it is a manifesto"-Jonathan O'Brien
"Outstanding fire and heartbreaking vulnerability"- Rhumer Diball.
"Wightman and Stark are clever, hilarious and write a damn good letter, just maybe not one you'd like to be on the receiving end on"- Heidi Harrison
Visiting Melbourne, arguably the Fuckboi capital of Australia, Wightman and Stark are primed to present the second iteration of Love Letters to Fuckbois and Other Woes of Wayward Women and hopefully score some Tinder matches along the way.
After a critically acclaimed sell-out season at Brisbane's Anywhere Festival earlier this year, underground Feminist up-and-comers Melina Wightman and Lia Stark are taking on Melbourne Fringe with their brutally honest tragicomedy in the hopes of sharing their wonderfully unsuccessful love lives with the world (because that's healthy right?).
Love Letters to Fuckbois humorously speaks to the cathartic nature of documenting your love life. Follow these letter punches from the loins of two ladies with too much, or maybe too little experience with men, as they question sex, love and intimacy in the age of Tinder. The clit is the pen and the pen is the sword with these tongue-in-cheek Scarlet Letters- real experiences of Wightman and Stark- that delve into the neurosis of the female libido, scattered with a symphony of (fore)play on words. Is it just these two lasses who define embarrassment in the boudoir or are we all doomed to be unlucky in love?
Figure out your own story as these wayward women define theirs and maybe you'll swipe right.
