THIGH GAP

$5.40 – $15.00

Two women. One apartment. They’re surrounded by flashy lipstick ads, wellness trends and dating apps. The women self-examine and compare, examine and compare. They’re aiming for something. They’re aiming for a thigh gap and they don’t know why.

Thigh Gap is an absurd, dark comedy that explores the commodification of women’s bodies in a capitalist patriarchy.

Shortlisted for London’s Platform Presents Playwright’s Prize 2019, recipient of artists residency with Terracina Estate and Lonely Company.

“A kaleidoscopic House-of-Horrors tone...that perfectly encapsulates the madness of the times.” — Tim Byrne, Time Out Melbourne

REVIEW

TIME OUT, TIM BYRNE, 2019

"And in this tale of two flatmates sucked into the vortex of unachievable societal expectations and capitalist guilt, playwright Jamaica Zuanetti mercilessly sends up the culture that gave rise to the thigh gap and other related lunacies." - TIM BYRNE, TIME OUT

REVIEW

WITNESS PERFORMANCE, ROBERT REID, 2019

“Thigh Gap, is an increasingly breathless sit-com romp...a frantic absurdist race through the clichés and contradictions of contemporary life, excavating the demands it places on young women.” — ROBERT REID, WITNESS PERFORMANCE

REVIEW
