Tender

By Eleanor Tindall

Paperback £10.99£8.79

Ebook £10.99£8.79

Ivy has life sorted; she's got a flat, a boyfriend and she knows exactly where it's all headed. Except there is this thing that she tries not to think about. The thing she left in her childhood bedroom.

Ash is having the time of her life. Fresh from leaving a bad relationship, she's got no idea what's next. But there's something about her new flat. The wallpaper pulses and sometimes it sounds like a heartbeat.

Two women. A chance meeting. Giddy kisses they never should have shared. Eleanor Tindall's play Tender is the story of two people who find each other without even knowing they were looking. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Emily Aboud and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions.

'You might say that my life is perfect.'

Broadway World

'Tindall's dialogue crackles and pops... a meet cute queer love story that has the audience on tenterhooks'
