From Succession writer Miriam Battye comes a razor sharp, not-quite-romantic comedy about the absurdity of modern dating in the seemingly endless quest to find “the one.”  
 
After matching online, a man and a woman meet for a date. Although they start off on the (very) wrong foot, they slowly begin to let down their guard in the hope that this time they’ve found something real. 
 
Bold, bitingly funny and achingly poignant, Strategic Love Play explores love, loneliness, and lying to (and about) ourselves in the age of swiping.  
 
“As gripping as a friend’s rapid-fire texts from a disastrous first date.” – The Evening Standard

By Miriam Battye
Directed by Matthew Gardiner
