In 2015 Hannah Reilly (Yarramadoon The Musical, 25A) somehow stumbled into a job hosting a sex and relationships show on the biggest youth radio station in Australia. Did anyone close to her think this was a good idea? No. Did she have any qualifications? None whatsoever. Did she get herself into situations from which she or her parents may never fully recover?

Absolutely.

Direct Eye Contact is a night of songs, stories and unexpected life lessons learned about the bewildering modern world of sex and dating. Irreverently interrogating the pressures of our hypersexualized age and the many masks we wear (sometimes rubber) in the messy, clumsy, universal search for human connection.

Nominated for a 2020 AWGIE for Best Comedy (Sketch/Light Entertainment Script).
