"I don't mean to sound horrible but the sex was – well – it was a bit like a kebab? Doner, not shish. Last night after five pints it was hot, it was tasty, it was just what I needed. But this morning, in the cold light of day, I am coated in the greasy film of regret."

Life's not looking too good for F. She's 25, down and out, and has just spent the night with the wrong man. Again. As she’s tidying up, she finds a love story she wrote aged 12. Before she knows it, she's hurtling back to the most significant mornings-after of her life.

Directed by Daniel Goldman
Performed by Becci Gemmell

"With a bleakly enchanting performance by Becci Gemmell, ‘Fucked’… is a terrific example of quality new writing enhanced by slick, fluid direction and a flawless sense of timing." THREE WEEKS
