Raven is a stripper with attitude, struggling with her dependency on men. Prudish Dr Neely is the unfortunate psychiatrist who takes her on.
As the sparks fly and secrets are revealed, the two women forge an unlikely friendship, and maybe more... But who really has the problem? Who really has the answer?
Barriers come down and lines begin to blur as both women reach towards their sexual freedom, their own, personal liberation.
Sexual content and very strong language make
Liberations strictly one for grown ups.

What
the audience said:
"Timing was excellent, comic element / balance was just right."
"Just a quick hello to say what a wonderful show and a great group of guys in your company."
"The audience were with you every step of the way and would have followed the story 'til the end 'cos we BELIEVED the characters!"
"The conclusion was just right, not over worked or spelt out. It ended with a feeling that I had been satisfied that watching a play is ALWAYS more enjoyable than ANY telly program."
"I had a wonderful and amusing evening."
Unity Performances
We're glad to report that despite the bad weather we pulled good
audiences. Very good on Saturday, our largest ever single audience
in the Unity in fact. Feedback is very positive. We had one woman like
it so much on Friday that she came back with friends on Saturday and
we've been approached by a graduate student who wants to do her dissertation
on the show. And we managed to attract people to the theatre who had
never been before, or who hadn't been since childhood, who took delight
in telling us that they'd be back again. Which is nice.
Pyramid Performance
Why does it always rain when we play Warrington? And Saturday
30th April was the night the BBC ran its Dalek Dr Who episode, and Channel
4 broadcast "The Lord of the Rings". Timing is everything...
We were up against Daleks, Hobbits and bad weather and still managed to pull a good crowd, not quite as enthusiastic as Liverpool, but feedback was positive and they certainly seemed to have a good time. It's good to see new writing can pull an audience, even against rain and intergalactic death machines.
