AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'They met online. She’s a nurse in her forties, brats for kids, trapped in a loop of catastrophic debt. He’s in IT, miserably married and trapped in his own loop of nightly porn-trawling. Both of them crave something else – but not necessarily each other.

'Take the plunge into the Too-Much-Information Age. Funny and fiercely written, 'Eight Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography' is a deceptively compassionate cringe-comedy of mid-life loneliness, hidden zip folders and barely concealed desperation.' (Source: Griffin Theatre Company website)
