02 Premise
A missing-persons case where the missing person is a feeling. Missing: One Libido investigates where desire goes when it goes, through hormones, history, parenthood and the stories we inherit, and refuses to leave the audience without a lead. It is a comedy until it isn’t, and then it is the most useful hour of the year.
03 What the audience leaves with
- A laugh they didn’t expect from the subject.
- A name for the thing they thought was only happening to them.
- One conversation to have on the way home.
