Fresh from the Durham, Camden, Buxton and Brighton Fringes comes a comedy-drama that asks big questions about what it is to love and what it means to let go of life – laced with splashes of Nietzschean philosophy…

It isn’t every day you get visited by Death.

But ageing Dominatrix Sophie Bywater isn’t going to go easily. She wasn’t expecting Death to turn up with a purple suit and a customer satisfaction survey.

Death has gone all user-friendly following a rebranding, and he wants to convince Maggie that death is just a negative lifestyle outcome. His cape and scythe had to go – health and safety, you know? – and now he’s in Sophie’s dungeon with time to kill.

Though she’s not going to be beaten into submission, she’s forced to confront painful memories, deeply buried, to fight off her inevitable destiny pathway.

Love Hurts is a comedy about love, loss, disappointment and coming to terms with dying.

What does a woman have to do to give death a good spanking, anyway?
