Young couple, Jamie and Katie, are at a period of uncertainty in their lives. In an attempt to ‘reconnect’, Jamie books them a hotel room 15 minutes down the road from their house in which he intends to do nothing but spend all evening chatting. When there is an unexpected revelation, the couple are forced to re-evaluate everything they think they know about themselves and their relationship. Zucchini is a new play that explores 21st century approaches to sexuality, identity and what happens when heteronormative people don’t fit into a heteronormative relationship.
Zucchini focuses on an unconventional relationship between two people who struggle with their own sexual identies, one that is built on feelings other than sexual attraction. The play explores the ways LGBTQ+ people tailor themselves to fit into a heteronormative society through adapting the labels they apply to their sexual identities and relationships.
Zucchini is available for touring and bookings, so if you are interested in the production please get in touch.
