The last night of a dysfunctional relationship precedes its
one-night stand beginnings in this bittersweet heartbreak comedy.
Tender, awkward and painfully funny, 'I Lost My Virginity to
Chopin's Nocturne in B-Flat Minor' probes the murky line between
devotion and destruction in a modern relationship. 'Chopin' is a
bittersweet comedy which focuses in on the disparity between
classes and how much of your self identity you would comprise for
someone you love. Its fresh look at 'privilege', challenges how
this is defined by both gender and upbringing, highlighting darker
elements of toxic masculinity and the unhealthy nature of a
dependent relationship. The piece explores a modern relationship
being pulled apart by the divides of the class system and treads a
murky line between devotion and destruction. It explores the
politics of both the middle class and the working class, pitting
them against each other to interrogate privilege, the gender divide
and stereotypes. ' a delightful slice of relationship hell' -
Christopher Brett Bailey 'A terrific two-hander. I'd prescribe this
show for a bit of short sharp relationship counseling. - THE
SCOTSMAN, * * * * 'Sebastian Gardner is a truly gifted writer, and
one you will want to keep an eye on if your interest is cutting
edge theatre. His dialogue bounces back and forth with unabashed
vigour and viewed as a whole, I Lost My Virginity To Chopin's
Nocturne in B-Flat Minor is its own symphony of modern theatre,
pulling together all of the elements required for a fascinating and
intuitive character study. A searing insight into modern-day
relationships. 'The heated and often distressing confrontation in
Act I tells us more about our characters than any other dramatic
device could ever hope to achieve. - Theatre Weekly, * * * * 'There
is no point in this show during which you might be tempted to
wonder off in thoughts to your own life - you are riveted to the
situation unfolding in front of your eyes.' -SCOTSGAY, * * * * 'An
honest, bitter, and endearing portrayal of modern relationships
that throws away any pretence of romanticism to create an original
work. A must-see during this year's fringe.' - Ed Fringe Review, *
