POLES: The Science of Magnetic Attraction
Meet Cora. She's 23, self-obsessed, a compulsive liar* (*harmless bulls***ter), and completely unable to be alone. She's also a stripper.
After running into her estranged BFF-turned-girlfriend-turned-ex, Cora snowplows through a wild few months. From the quest to fill the void, to the constant pressure to know exactly what you’re doing with your life, perhaps all Cora has to learn is that maybe it’s ok to just be a mess. POLES is a new dark comedy about strip clubs and their customers, loneliness, and the stigma of monetising your body.
"Such an incredible show. So true to the sex worker experience." - Avalon Hope
