CARDIGAN Theatre's next play brings together a tale of motherhood, friendship, love and loss.

Sex Cells, by Anna Longaretti, follows the life of four women in a busy call centre who work for Aphrodite, a sex toy manufacturer.

Beneath the cheerful customer service and easy banter, however, these very different women nurse their own desires and disappointments.

Sylvie is desperate to have a baby, but her single-minded approach is taking its toll on her marriage and causing friction with her co-workers.

With five children, Janice rarely finds time for herself or her husband.

Tiffany is young and single, looking for ‘the one’, but wary of sacrificing her independence. Star employee Lily, meanwhile, is stuck in a loveless marriage and estranged from her son, but buries her pain in wisecracks and work.

Their gentle and innocent manager Mr Causeway attempts to diffuse the tension between his staff while suppressing a longstanding crush on the oblivious Lily.

Sex Cells will be performed by Cardigan Theatre at Theatre Mwldan on Tuesday, June 23 and Wednesday, June 24 Tues at 7pm and contains adult themes.

Tickets are £7. To book call 01239 621200.
