Description
A hilarious new spin on the Hollywood romcom featuring two proposals, two weddings, an elopement and a cast of unforgettable characters.
Kate likes her men tall, dark and smouldering. She has a fatal attraction to bad men. Then she meets Steve…
Steve is a feminist.
Can Kate overcome her love of lipstick, cupcakes and Heathcliff? Can Steve forgo the ethical confetti and learn to be a little bit more ravishing in bed? Can the two of them reinvent romance for the twenty-first century?
Samantha Ellis's play How to Date a Feminist premiered at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2016, ahead of a UK tour.

Media Reviews
'Wonderfully funny... does more to provoke a change in our understanding of the other than 1,000 doctoral theses'
* Exeunt *'Sprightly written with some whizz-crack lines… frequently laugh out loud funny... Ellis' writing captures the finer, quotidian detail of modern relationships and there are moments of lovely intimacy'
