“What’s the worst first date you’ve ever had?”

Following sold out runs in Cork and Waterford Red ‘n Blue Theatre Company present John Morton’s dark comedy TABOO

There was a boy and a girl and somehow, they met. Lily doesn’t get out much. Tom finds it hard to meet new people. And now they’re having their first date. Lily cooks a three-course meal. Tom brings flowers and wine.

On the surface, everything seems fine. But in the modern world, dating is a surprisingly complex thing with a lot of unwritten rules. There are certain things you shouldn’t do on a first date. And then there are certain things you shouldn’t do at all.
