Trifled

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Caitlin Magnall-Kearns 

  • Synopsis

    Jen – a bolshy young Northern Irish woman who is housebound with agoraphobia – is trying to make the best of her difficult situation: her days revolve around watching daytime TV and filming niche pornographic content for her profile on OnlyFans until, one day, a heartbroken English university lecturer lands on her doorstep. A brutally honest, darkly comedic two-hander about sex work and mental illness, Trifled charts their blossoming friendship.
