Description:
What goes on behind the velvet curtains of the theatre? Is there more drama backstage than onstage?
Does the sexual tension between the stars of the show get x-rated once the curtain drops and the audience has left?
We’re looking for erotica stories inspired by the drama of the theatre both on and offstage, from amateur dramatics to the high glamour of Broadway or the West End.
We have a strong preference for stories that have female characters and female pleasure as their focal point and have well developed characters and narratives. Although all work will be considered on merit.
