BANGING DENMARK
by Van Badham
Produced by PIP Theatre
Past Production
March 7th – 23rd 2024
Jake Newhouse is a pickup artist who sells seduction techniques to the lovelorn men of the internet. Ish Madigan is a feminist academic whose life’s been destroyed by male internet trolls.
They are natural enemies…until Jake grows desperate for a favour. He’s developed a crush on a Danish librarian who’s immune to his games and offers Ish a cool $ 50,000 to teach him her ways of feminist-friendly persuasion. She may be broke, but can she do it? Will he stand it? And has anyone thought to consult the librarian?!
Van Badham throws a bomb at the rom-com in a badly-behaved comedy of sex, love, modern manners and ancient vanities. Banging Denmark is breathless, relentless and a laugh-out-loud battle of the sexless.
