HARDLOVE is a dark, sexy comedy from Rue de Pera and Sonder Project, following the one-night stand of an unlikely couple. What starts as a drunken hookup spirals into a raw, funny and deeply intimate clash of desire, fantasy and identity. As the pair struggle to connect physically, they unravel emotionally. With razor-sharp dialogue, electric choreography and the pulse of rock'n'roll, the show dives headfirst into what lies beyond lust. Performed at Ivy Studio as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A bold, electric theatre piece that takes one wild night and turns it inside out. If you want sharp writing, physical intensity and a comedy that dares to go somewhere real, HARDLOVE delivers all of that in a single hour.
