Three short plays by British playwright Gilly Fraser, exploring the lives and motivations of female sex workers. The plays are also collectively known as "Do a Dance for Daddy".

"Gatefold" is about a girl who has earned her entire living posing for nude and pornographic shots for magazines. This is the day she decides to stop.

"Dream Girl" is a confrontation experienced by a stripper when her private life is threatened by her profession.
