When heartbreak meets activewear, anything can happen.

Recently dumped Prue decides the best revenge on her cheating husband is revenge biceps and a killer squat. She drags along her best friend Fran—a gambling enthusiast with a health scare that turns out to be… piles—and they sign up for a fitness class at the local gym. What could possibly go wrong?

Enter Jessica, their relentlessly upbeat, mantra-spouting personal trainer, who just happens to be up for Trainer of the Year and totally isn’t obsessed with it. Rounding out the class is Delia, a wine-loving foodie desperate to look fabulous for her upcoming cookbook cover—despite an inability to stop sampling her own cooking… and drinking.

As the women stretch, squat and sweat (occasionally) secrets spill faster than protein shakes—especially once Delia’s “electrolyte drink” turns out to be wine! Add a surprise visit from the media, a large betting win, and the shocking revelation of exactly who stole Prue’s husband, and the gym session becomes an all-out comic battleground.

Love and Lycra is a sharp, joyful one-act comedy about middle-aged reinvention, friendship, bad habits that refuse to die, and the power of a very tight pair of leggings. With four meaty roles for women, minimal set requirements, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, it’s a fast, flexible, and hugely relatable play that audiences—and performers—will love.
