Artistic Director, Adam Hemming, chats to Katie Bignell and Caitlin Lee Smith, creators of the show Post Sex Spag Bol and Winner of The Space Launchpad Award 2022. We discuss being a woman with thorns, comedy and the comparison to Fleabag and we listen to advice for dads with young daughters - in advance of the run of Post Sex Spagnol at the Space (playing 6th - 10th September, including a livestream on the 8th and on demand access for two weeks after that).

“Now, girls. The pill can make you moody, borderline serious mental health problems moody, but it does give you big boobs, so depression can be worth it.”

After being handed a job as counsellor and sex-ed teacher, Krissy purposely leads a classroom full of goggle-eyed-girls down a motorway of mistakes. Fuelled by her own flaws, at a religious all-girls boarding school, she shaves away any expectation of a perfect role model. With a desire for destruction, Krissy intentionally feeds bad advice to the hormone-riddled girls, from questionable kinks, to the swimming pools secret-sex-shack. Told by a three women ensemble, this comedic story of sex, love, and spagbol explores self-love, womanhood and growing up … as well as, vibrators, funerals, the twelve disciples, piss play and that mint shower gel. BYOB – Bring your own Bolognese.
