By: Ashlee Latimer Dec. 26, 2016
Our Dead Friend's Porn is a new play about the awkwardness and old bruises of a friendship hurtling towards adulthood that opens in the New York Theatre Festival at the Hudson Guild Theatre January 2nd.
In the cornfields of suburban Pennsylvania, a once inseparable trio breaks into the childhood bedroom of their dead friend to dispose of the massive porn collection he left behind. When they make a discovery among the magazines and DVD's, each member of the gang is forced to relive their intimate moments with their friend to piece together the mysteries of his death, and whether or not they caused it.
The world premiere of Our Dead Friend's Porn will open January 2 and run through January 9. Admission is $23. Tickets can be purchased online: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2716551 or at the door.
