Ollie and Laura are coming home after a meal with Laura’s parents, and they’ve been arguing for quite a while. Maybe they’ve been arguing for hours. Maybe they’ve been arguing for years. Maybe they’ll be together forever.Sebastian Gardner’s painfully funny award-winning debut play ‘I Lost My Virginity to Chopin’s Nocturne in B-Flat Minor’ explores identity, devotion and dependency between two people that hate to love each other.
‘ a delightful slice of relationship hell’
– Christopher Brett Bailey
‘A terrific two-hander. I’d prescribe this show for a bit of short sharp relationship counseling.’
– THE SCOTSMAN, * * * *
‘There is no point in this show during which you might be tempted to wonder off in thoughts to your own life – you are riveted to the situation unfolding in front of your eyes.’
-SCOTSGAY, * * * *
‘An honest, bitter, and endearing portrayal of modern relationships that throws away any pretence of romanticism to create an original work. A must-see during this year’s fringe.’
– Ed Fringe Review, * * * *
Gardner’s debut play ‘I Lost my Virginity to Chopin’s Nocturne in B-Flat Minor’ received The King’s Head Stella Wilkie Award and China Plate’s East 15 Debut Award.

The show will debut at The Vaults Theatre ahead of a regional tour in autumn 2021, transferring to The Oxford Playhouse, The Edge Theatre Manchester and The Phoenix Arts Centre Hampshire.
