Assisted Seduction
Assisted Seduction is a darkly comic two-hander that explores ageing, survival, and the uneasy bargains people make when life stops going to plan.
Set over the course of a single evening, the play brings together Sandy, a former Playboy Bunny in her sixties clinging to glamour and control, and her niece Amber, a sharp and cynical woman in her late twenties trying to stay afloat in the gig economy. What begins as an awkward reunion soon spirals into a volatile confrontation where humour and hostility collide.
As old resentments surface and the stakes become clearer, the two women find themselves locked in a strange negotiation about autonomy, dignity, and the price of independence. Each believes they understand the other but both are hiding more than they are willing to admit.Balancing biting comedy with moments of unexpected vulnerability, Assisted Seduction is a tense and intimate exploration of power, family, and the roles people perform in order to survive.
Written by Naomi Moylan-Torke and Ahsan Kazmi, and directed by Sophia Sinclair, the production is staged as a stripped-back two-hander that places language, performance, and audience proximity at the centre of the experience.
Running Time: 60 minutes
