| Description |
Three short plays by British playwright Gilly Fraser, exploring the lives and motivations of female sex workers. The plays are also collectively known as "Do a Dance for Daddy".
"Live Show" deals with two sex workers who are about to perform in front of a large invited audience at a private party in a respectable country house (one is dress as a nun, the other as a schoolgirl). "Gatefold" is about a girl who has earned her entire living posing for nude and pornographic shots for magazines. This is the day she decides to stop. "Dream Girl" is a confrontation experienced by a stripper when her private life is threatened by her profession. |
