Designer's notes:
IMPOTENT is a pitch-black comedy drama set in the murky world of a Market Harborough Genito-Urinary Medicine Department. Five men at different stages of their life and different stages of treatment for impotence are seen individually undergoing treatment with Dr Zoë Lane, a woman who has to penetrate, interpret and reprogramme the misfiring, and frequently overwired brains of her patients. Her patients are a mixture of men for whom sex is any or all of a reward, a curse, a threat, a justification and punishment.

'Impotent is a breath of fresh air. This brand new black comedy, written by Matt Reed, feels incredibly fresh and is hugely relevant but most importantly the show is funny... not just a little bit funny... extremely funny!''
