THE SUBTLE ART OF FLIRTING Set for The Butterfly Club

Tunks Productions are offering an all new take on love, sex, flirting and dating in the modern era with their 2015 production of The Subtle Art Of Flirting. The central characters in the play form the eight sides of an intertwined love-octagon. Their love stories are messy, hilarious and incredibly familiar to anyone who has dated in the past 20 years. This chemistry further developed by a revolving cast who approach the show with their own on-and-off stage entanglements.

The Subtle Art Of Flirting was first published ten years ago. Wayne Tunks (writer, Director, sometime cast member) developed the first incarnation just before the proliferation of dating apps and the smorgasbord of "matching" websites currently around.

"This show is one of my absolute favourites to work on. Whether our audiences are with a bunch of mates looking for a good night out, or on their first tinder date, they will walk away with a smile on their faces. They will spend an our laughing at their own romantic highs and lows, played out on stage", says Tunks.

The Subtle Art Of Flirting is playful with convention. No two performances feature the same performers, so each presentation plays with the very concept of on-and-off stage chemistry. Each individual performance is a unique, one-off occurrence guaranteed to have audiences rolling in the aisles.

"We are working with a cast who bring their own romantic realities to the stage" Tunks further elaborates, "We have a real life couple. We have a real-life ex-couple. We have someone who fell in love with the show years ago and is now an integral part of it."

The 6-night season eschews the traditional theatre season, playing out over six consecutive Sundays at 9.30. Tickets are already moving incredibly quickly, so bookings are highly recommended.
