 The pandemic played havoc with our lives in myriad ways, not least in its effect on intimacy and relationships. It’s a subject explored by writer Emilie Pine in the show Good Sex, showing at the Dublin Theatre Festival. It is described as a love story for a loveless age — looking at how we must learn to be with each other again after two years of being told that touching or contact is forbidden or dangerous.

 Pine, author of the acclaimed essay collection Notes to Self, and director Ben Kidd, of Dead Centre theatre company, came up with the initial idea before the pandemic.
