“Single | Meat Cutes” by Tilly Robba & Steph Jowett

Apr 2

We are first introduced to Luke, Bridie and Tilly as they rideshare to the pub for their separate dating-app dates. Their Woober driver swerves and squeals through the sunset-lit Sydney landscape, coursing past a cacophony of characters.

Luke has an elaborate date of his own design in a park with a militant vegan named Brendan. Tilly falls immediately in love with a bra-less grunge singer named Cass. Bridie enters the pub’s weekly steak-eating competition, where she meets, and eats, the love of her life - ‘Meat-Man’ a man made entirely out of prime medium-rare steak.

Disaster ensues on all counts, and the three end the night crammed in a skip-bin outside the pub—dateless and still single as they watch a pregnant rat give birth to her beautiful babies. They reflect on the night’s shenanigans and watch the sunrise, ready to take on another dateless day in the big smoke.
