Do Astronauts Masturbate in Space? - Brighton Fringe
Do Astronauts Masturbate in Space?
In a dystopian, overpopulated Britain a law called the "Parental Act" requires all couples to apply for a license or "Stork Card" to have children.

In this fast-paced dark comedy we follow the young, infectiously charming couple Lily and Gareth, who after falling pregnant, are required to attend a week-long "Retreat" in a bid to gain their Stork Card.

The stakes are high, failing the retreat means forced abortion. The two are caught off guard by the pregnancy but think the whole process will be a walk in the park. However, once there, things take a sharp turn. Forever changed and clinging on to their past naivety, their future and life of their baby is left unclear.

★★★★.5 "Beautifully combines comedic elements with the deeper questions about privilege, social norms, control and right to autonomy." (A Young(ish) Perspective)
★★★★ "A triumph" (Broadway Baby)
