Relationshit
Kickboxer Zoe, insecure June, and stoic Roman explore their relationships and sexualities, each in their own awkward way. And if it doesn’t work out, they can always soothe their hearts by debriefing in the bathtub - wine and tiaras inclusive.

Q: Talk about the story and concept behind RELATIONSHIT. How did this idea come to you?
A: It’s a power move. Now I can threaten everybody I meet that I’ll put them in my show, so they have to behave!
On a more serious note, I spend a lot of thought on artistic responsibility: The stories we send out into the world shape expectations - life imitates art.
It was important to me to make something that wasn’t “boy meets girl, they fall in love, happily ever after.” So I did the opposite of that: Person meets person, they fall in love, oh no, oh dear, no no no, oooh... crap.” But there’s also a lot of positive love and fun, because nothing is ever all bad or all good.
