“What’s the worst first date you’ve ever had?”
There was a boy and a girl and somehow they met. Lily doesn’t get out much.
Tom finds it hard to meet new people. And now they’re having their first date.
Lily cooks a three course meal. Tom brings flowers and wine. On the surface,
everything seems fine. But in the modern world, dating is a surprisingly complex thing with a lot of unwritten rules.

There are certain things you shouldn’t do on a first date.
And then there are certain things you shouldn’t do at all.
Taboo is a dark comedy that allows us to better get acquainted with the
skeletons in our cupboards.
