What’s On
10 FIRST DATES at ETCETERA THEATRE
MARCH 20-24, 2026, ETCETERA THEATRE, CAMDEN TOWN, LONDON
PART OF THE WOMEN’S WRITERS FESTIVAL
She survived marriage. Dating might finish her.
After 25 years of marriage, Maggie Callahan finds herself newly single and thrown into the chaotic world of modern dating. Armed with nothing but a martini and a sense of humour, she endures 10 wildly different first dates, from a narcissist obsessed with selfies to a spiritual guru who won’t stop trying to balance her chakras. As Maggie faces the absurd realities of dating apps, mismatched personalities, and midlife crises, she begins to realize that love is more complicated—and hilarious—than she ever imagined. 10 First Dates is a comedic exploration of relationships, self-discovery, and the unexpected joys of being single.

know us
Every story we tell starts with a question: What if this could change someone’s day — or their whole outlook?
Gooper Dust Productions makes theatre that matters - stories that entertain, stir empathy, and move the dial toward a kinder world.
We believe artists should be paid fairly, creativity should spark connection and that art is a bridge - not a bubble.
