Tonight is the last chance for Jess and Jimmy to save their nine-year relationship, and they're attempting it right in front of you. They haven't been intimate in fourteen months and four days. The wine is chilled, the pillows are ready, the mood music is playing. They still find each other attractive. They still make each other laugh. So, what's stopping them? As they strip away excuses and defences, this couple must confront uncomfortable truths about desire, consent, victimhood, and whose story it really is to tell.
A sharp, provocative comedy about intimacy and accountability, The Prudes asks: when the stakes are this high, can you ever really start over?
This production contains discussions of a sexual nature, discussions of rape and sexual assault, and mentions of violence. Suitable for audiences of 16 and over.
An amateur production by arrangement with Julia Tyrell Management
