PUPPY

KING’S HEAD THEATRE, 1-27 APRIL 2025

a Play by Naomi Westerman

"It's a hobby, like – it's mostly social"

Two young women meet late one night in a car park, and immediately fall in love... while dogging. With all their friends watching, they explore the boundaries of their sexualities, and start their own feminist porn company. But all of a sudden, their cosy little world is shattered by new proposed legislation intent on outlawing female pleasure, and they find themselves dragged into politics. From village park to parliament, the valiant lovers become fighters in a battle for their rights.

Puppy is an outrageous, sex-positive, female-centric comedy about dogging, queerness, feminist porn, protest, the patriarchy, and Nick Clegg.
