Synopsis

Meet Lolly, a a real-life doll. She’s everything you’ve ever desired; everything every TV show has ever told you that you deserve. Men: she’s every schoolgirl fantasy you’ve ever had, every late night special. Women: she’s every image you’ve aspired towards, she’s every kinky thought you find yourself blushing at. Everyone in between: we’re sorry, the media hasn’t quite gotten to you yet, but Lolly might. Join Lolly as she guides you through a world of pleasure, providing helpful tips and insight you never knew you needed, through her easy-to-follow YouTube tutorials. Men: watch a professional teach your woman what you need. Women: learn about everything you need to make your man’s (or your friend’s man, or your maths teacher’s) fantasies come to life. Everyone else: we’re certain you’ll find at least some of it to your satisfaction.

​

Lolly is a 20-minute one-act play which focuses on the hyper-sexualisation of young women by older men.

Media & Reviews

"This is one of the most powerful 20 minute theatre pieces I've seen in a long time."

Krit

"In view of the #MeToo and the #TimesUp movement, Lolly arrives at an appropriate time…the audience walks away with a lot to think about and hopefully enough to actually change."

Kritiek

"They tackle pedophilia without gloves, and although the onset of attack is almost playful, the filthiness of the manipulation is soon revealed with icy bleakness."

Kritiek

"It’s cutting-edge, introspective social commentary."
