Dating George Orwell takes an obsession of books and pushes it to its limits. Set at the thirtieth birthday party of loner and spinster Pauline Duffy we hear the unusual tale of her quest for love and how she has not only been plagued by her addiction to books but how they have helped in her journey of sexual awakening. Through her desperation for love and need for acceptance Pauline Duffy decides that she has no other option but to date her books. This tale of personification and teenage lust is original, adult, exciting and despite its absurdity is something theatre and non theatre goers can relate to.There will be FREE Cake, Presents and Vodka!!"
