Queen of Spades
Queen of Spades is an entertaining, heartfelt one-woman comedy-poetry show exploring life as a neurodiverse asexual navigating a world built for couples and the dexterous. Expect a celebratory and thought-provoking journey through identity, existential musings, horrendously awkward first dates, and an eternal battle to be on time...
The title is a positive play on the ace of spades symbol which is often used by those of us who identify as aromantic asexuals.
