WESLEY is a newly-sacked journalist who, in frustration and uttermost confusion, goes to drink off his sorrow at a roadside beer parlour. PHILOMENA, a prostitute in her last laps, runs the beer parlour as a side hustle, which has become her main sustenance. In a lightbulb moment, Wesley decides to interview Philomena, because he sees potential for a great story that will change the course of journalism. He soon finds himself being sucked into growing affection for Philo as she tells her gripping story. He, however, has not reckoned with AREA, a frustrated, wannabe scientist, broke teacher, and Philo’s most loyal customer and admirer. They have two things in common—cynicism and bitterness towards society. Following an almost serendipitous connection, the men demand to hear, and Philomena agrees to tell the story of her life, while they both vie for her affections. ‘Philomena: Interview with a Prostitute’ is a satirical play set in a seedy beer parlour and told with the deftness of a veteran thespian.
