Like a Virgin

From the writer of Studs and Dead Fish, Gordon Steel , Like a Virgin is a powerful play with music. It's an hillarious romp through the bubble-gum years of teenage life.

Angela and Maxine, two sixteen year olds, attack life with laughter, vibrancy and excitement. Besotted with Madonna they truant from school, form a band, attempt to write pop songs - and with hairbrushes inhand they live out their adolescent dreams of becoming famous.

Angela's mother Viv, is distraught after her husband suddenly leaves her to set up home with another woman. She struggles to come to terms with herself and her daughter's explosive lifestyle. A volatile, yet loving relationship develops as the two grow to appreciate each other's very different needs.

The play erupts into a rollercoaster of emotions as it tackles hope, sex, driving ambition, despair and most of all love.

"Bursting with wit and vitality, an incredibly moving play...wonderfully life affirming" The scotsman

"This is direct, unfussy, touching stuff" The Times
