Inexperience
INEXPERIENCE
Written by Douglas Maxwell
Directed by Sally Reid
A Pitlochry Festival Theatre Production
Inexperience by award-winning playwright Douglas Maxwell is a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy about touch, memory, and the choices that shape a life.
Robin doesn’t do mess. Not in his house, not in his work, not in his heart. A meticulous Sheriff Clerk, he keeps himself apart—safe, orderly, untouchable. Until Iris walks back into his courtroom.
Iris is Robin’s opposite: impulsive, passionate, always chasing the next cause or connection. Back in the 90s, when they were students, she made Robin a daring promise: they could only ever touch once. Just once, in their entire lives—in an attempt to preserve a spark that usually fades. Iris forgot. Robin never did.”
Now, decades later, that one perfect touch may finally be within reach. But can a single moment live up to a lifetime of anticipation?
Inexperience is a moving, playful exploration of intimacy in a culture where physical contact is anything but simple. With humour, warmth, and emotional bite, Maxwell asks: what’s the best way to live? Do you dive into life’s chaos, or stay apart and unscathed?
