‘How To Date’ is a dark comedy play exploring naivety and vulnerabilities faced by young women in London. Clarissa, an independent girl from North London meets Emily, a spoiled girl from Cheltenham, who dreams of being a film star. Searching for partners, they face the reality of the disastrous dating scene. Disappointed by dating apps, a spiral of events escalates in Clarissa’s life putting her job and friendship with Emily at stake. When secrets from the past arise, we learn of the importance of opening up to others.  

The story is inspired by Stephanie’s own experiences and aims to raise awareness for other young women.
