Some things are easier to say to a stranger.

A coming-of-age story set in the world of queer online kink, Four Letter Words explores the thrill and vulnerability of finding connection in a time of isolation.

During lockdown, university student Gemma is swept up in a whirlwind online relationship with the mysterious M, a connection that begins in a BDSM chatroom but quickly becomes something far deeper. As their digital bond intensifies, Gemma’s real-world relationships start to unravel, pulling her into a journey of first love, heartbreak and self-discovery.

Blending live projection with intimate storytelling, the production invites audiences into Gemma’s private world, exploring how we search for connection, identity and belonging when the world feels out of reach.

Written by Hannah Greenstreet, directed by Millie Foy and produced by Harriet Warnock, this bold new play is supported by Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and Arts Council England.
