Curtis Lawson would rather live in his bedroom, designing fantasy girls online, than get a job or even a girlfriend. His father has other ideas. He wants a proper son and a grandson too, and doesn't hide his frustration with his son's computer obsession.

Joi works for Significant Others, an online escort agency. She's hired by Curtis' dad to fake a chance meeting with his son - to get him interested in real life and real women. She looks just like the fantasy girl Curtis has created on-line, and when he meets her he can't believe his luck.
But when the couple fall in love, things start to fall apart.

What happens when you meet the perfect girl? What do you do when an escort job turns into true love? What does it feel like when no-one knows what's real anymore? What happens when tragedy and revenge seem to be the only options left?

Perfect won the M.E.N. Award for Best Play of 2004 and Best design.
