The story follows a couple who spend one night turning their house upside down trying to find a special possession that they think will spice things up in bed bringing them closer again.
As they search around their house and belongings, they reflect on their relationship and realise that what they are really looking for has been there all along, in the beautiful moments between them.
“Mr Strappy” is about that spark that sometimes goes missing in a relationship – when life’s distractions seem to get in the way of what’s important – and asks where it can be found again.
Hint: it’s not the cutlery drawer.
