Inspired by true events, the five-star smash hit play Spare Room follows Jodie as she takes the plunge and applies for a room in a house share. Confronted with the unexpected world of chunder charts, STIs and tangible testosterone, this wasn’t the fresh start Jodie imagined. Entirely set in a student living room, expect to be thoroughly immersed in the lives of these badly behaved twenty-somethings who’ll leave you cackling one minute and speechless the next, in this honest insight into masculinity, mental health and consent. Nominated for five Fringe theatre awards including Best New Play.
