Synopsis: Ravenhill weaves two time zones - London 1726, where Mrs Tull's whores are giving her a hard time, a man in a dress is looking for a job, her husband has a roving eye, and the apprentice boy keeps disappearing. Meanwhile, in 2001, a group of wealthy gay men are preparing for a raunchy party. This black comedy not only celebrates the diversity of human sexuality but also provides a fascinating insight into a hidden chapter of London's history. Unusually, the text also includes both lyrics and score for the songs

Synopsis: KITTY dreams of becoming a star, but first she and her 'sistas' - ROCHELLE, HANNAH and SINITA - have to date some A-list celebrities, and that means dumping zitty boyfriends JAKE, DAN, TYSON and FRAMJI. Kitty eggs on her reluctant friends with promises of the fame to come: photo shoots, opening nights and more. Meanwhile, Jake, Dan, Tyson and Framji swap stories of getting chucked and decide to teach the girls a lesson - but how? Geeky friend VICTOR has the answer. Posing as a wacky visionary he convinces the girls that the boys are the biggest stars of the future - the ultimate boyband, Awesome. With the help of his drama classmates, disguised as PAs, stylists and the press, Victor stages a phoney concert to launch the band's debut single, So Totally Over You. Desperate to win the boys back, the sistas sneak in but Dan, Tyson and Framji tell them where to go. Satisfied that the girls have learnt their lesson, the boys and their mates return to normal. But Jake wants the playacting to go on - if only he can persuade Kitty to see beyond the celebrity, maybe he can win her back? The two meet and Jake momentarily gives in to the fantasy of his pop-star life. The other couples, reunited at last, turn up and reveal the truth and Kitty and Jake finally have to face up to their true feelings for one another. Inspired by Molière's Les Précieuses Ridicules, Mark Ravenhill's ironic new play examines the world of instant celebrity, branding and illusion in an age of Big Brother and Pop Rivals. A love story for anyone who's ever dreamt of becoming a pop star, told a few lies and been dumped. There are 15 characters in Totally Over You, eight girls and seven boys aged between 14 and 16. There are opportunities for larger casts to play the various members of the drama class, disguising themselves as reporters, photographers, TV crews, etc. The play is written to be performed on a bare stage. The scenes are not set anywhere specific and need no scenery or furniture to suggest location.
