Once again, this excellent company has come up with a production that is not only highly entertaining but also informative.
Based on her research with real "working girls", author Anita Sullivan has developed a play that gives a view of the lives of prostitutes working in a seedy sauna.
Irma, the central character, is a university student whose apparent motive for turning to prostitution for a summer job is to pay off her student loan. The play is a retrospective review of her experiences and relationships.
In the main, the clients and girls have a cosy relationship that one feels is not matched in real life where there would be an atmosphere of potential danger.
However, this cosiness is shattered in one scene that is a powerful piece of theatre which owes much to the superb performances of Alex Childs and Martin Nicholls. The rest of the cast match their high standard of acting.
