Slap
'Welcome to the world of Dominique, a glamorous transsexual hooker in the throws of an emotional meltdown, caught between a rock and a hard face, juggling a stalker client with a crush and her cute, chavved out, drugged up boyf who hasn't got out of the bath for a week. Shocking, sexy and sometimes sweet, this is a rollercoaster ride you'll never forget.' - a play by Alexis Gregory, premiering at London's legendary Theatre Royal Stratford East.

2.5, rounded up.
I've now read all of Gregory's published works (accidentally in reverse chronological order!) - and although this shows nascent talent - it's about as messy as the three characters portrayed in it. They say you should always write what you know - and I'm not sure the playwright really knows a heck of a lot about his subject here. PS: Slap is apparently a euphemism for 'make-up' in the UK, so the title has a double meaning - since it's about a transexual prostitute ... who gets slapped around a lot.
