Meet Fi: a girl in a North Wales village with spiky hair and a BMX, fancying girls but pretending to be straight; falling for a woman on the rugby team without telling anyone that she’s also fallen into her bed; going to London to be a lesbian in a lesbian world loving every lesbian second… until she’s not.
As Fi takes us on a journey through her love life – the secret crushes, the awkward sex and the messy heartbreak – she explores the complexities of being true to yourself while growing up as a tomboy in the nineties.
One of the Guardian’s Theatre Picks for 2022, this is a hilarious and heart-wrenching monologue about lesbian love and desire from one of Wales’ best playwrights, Bethan Marlow, directed by Rhiannon Mair.
A Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru production with support from the National Eisteddfod of Wales.
