"You definitely want to f*ck her but you don't want to know her. You certainly don't want to stay for breakfast…"

Sarah Milton's new one-woman play tells the story of one woman's immediate response to a sexual assault, fueled by a toxic friendship and crisis of identity.

Two best friends are heading out for the night. Our protagonist, known as 'She', is hoping to win over her crush – Isaac the bartender, at their favourite joint. That night, her best friend Trixie decides to invite a group of men home that she fancies, promoting She as her sexy, obtainable friend, to help seal the deal. But when She wakes up the next day, confused, sore, lying next to a man she doesn't recognise, she is forced to re-evaluate everything she thinks she knows about her friendships, identity and sexuality.

"Milton’s descriptions are frequently vivid and the poetry of her writing engaging... 4 shines a piercing light on the impact of sexual trauma, and how this can trigger a re-evaluation of an unsatisfactory life. From it, Milton emerges as a talent to take notice of."
THE INDIEPENDENT

"A necessary play, one that shines a light on the intertwinement of certain types of trauma. Milton's text is poetic in a prose that can turn into a harrowing rat-a-tat of vivid descriptions."
BROADWAY WORLD

"A triumph in engaged storytelling"

"Do you get to design your boobs? Is it like Build-A-Bear?"
