Aarron is learning how to be a man online and it's starting to feel toxic. And Maisy well Maisy's not that into sex thank you very much. Thrown together these four confront their di erences and realise their power to create change.Birds and Bees is a new play by critically acclaimed writer Charlie Josephine (I Joan Shakespeare's Globe) and a searing exploration of identity consent sex positivity online safety and intersectionality. Birds and Bees originallylaunched digitally during the 2020 lockdown and was watched by over 500 schools across the UK.
