About Awkward Conversations With Animals I’ve Fucked

Product Description One-night stands are awkward. One-night stands with animals are more awkward. And when you're as desperate to please as Bobby, things get awkward as f*ck. He's just a guy with too much love to give, and a burning desire to give it to consensual adult mammals. A one-man tragi-comedy from award-winning playwright Rob Hayes. ‘I think if you’re onboard with the title, you won’t have any problem with the content…his ballsy, original play has a depth and poignancy that endures long after you’ve stopped LOLing at the name.’ - Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out ‘Hayes’ darkly funny script masks a disturbing psychological examination of mental illness and loneliness…this play is much more subtle and interesting than the brashness of its title.’ - The Stage ‘Rob Hayes’ deliciously uncomfortable script foregrounds in-depth character study.’ - The List About the Author Rob Hayes recently won the Tom Erhardt Award for Most Promising Playwright. He was also shortlisted in 2013 for the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum and the Royal Exchange Theatre Hodgkiss Award with director Ned Bennett. Rob’s play STEP 9 (OF 12) ran in the West End at the Trafalgar Studios in 2012, starring Blake Harrison and directed by Tom Attenborough. It had previously been produced at the New Britannia Theatre in 2011. Also in 2011 A Butcher of Distinction received its premiere at the Cock Tavern before transferring to the King’s Head. The play then ran in 2013 at the Old 505 Theatre in Sydney and the Cockpit Theatre in London. Rob’s stageplay Selling Clive won best overall production at the Lost Theatre Festival in 2010. Rob is currently adapting STEP 9 (OF 12) as a feature film for Matt Lucas' John Stanley Productions, as well as developing an original sitcom for them. He also has an original comedy series, False Prophet, in development with Left Bank Pictures.
