It doesnt have to be anything more than it is. Lets just be organic.
Lucy and David are dating. Or at least, theyre trying to.
Faced with first-date disasters, a few crossed wires and Lucys mum, what they really need is a bit of space, a bit
of fun and ideally some independence. Escaping for the weekend to a caravan park in Somerset, its time for them to find out if their spark will finally catch, or burn everything to the ground.
Written by Graeaes Write to Play graduate Michael Southan, Kerbs gets real about romance, sex and disability, while tackling the universal challenge faced by anyone experiencing a new relationship: letting someone in.
A Graeae and Belgrade Theatre coproduction for Coventry UK City of Culture 2021.
