Do you know how they get animals to breed in captivity?
They put them in the same cage.

Meet Tom. He’s single, sorted (so he thinks) and spectacularly uninterested in romance. Enter Amy. Six pints and a questionable kebab later, and suddenly they’re… dating?

Neither of them knows how this happened, neither know if this is what they want, but they’re certain of one thing – they’re carrying enough emotional baggage from their last relationship to sink a small ship.

A fast, funny, painfully relatable rom-com about two people who might just be perfect for each other – if they can ever get over their past. In a world of dodgy office flings and terrible exes who never quite stay exed, My Romantic History asks: if you haven’t met ‘the one’ by thirty, are you the problem – or is it everyone else?

Everybody remembers their first love. Few survive their second.

“I have loved this play by D.C. Jackson since I first saw it over ten years ago. It’s a testament to the brilliance of the writing that it feels just as hilarious, fresh and brilliantly relatable all these years later. Get ready Glasgow, this truly is one of the greatest stage rom-coms ever written for Scotland!” – Johnny McKnight, Director

Written by D.C. JACKSON
