The Provocative F*CKING MEN Transfers to The Vaults for 5 Weeks
By: Liz Cearns Sep. 15, 2016
Press night is Friday 4 November at 7.30pm
Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's classic La Ronde, Joe DiPietro ("I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change") transplants the interweaving tales of sexual power, discovery and exploration to a contemporary urban gay subculture.
A slick dramatic comedy of gay sexual manners, 10 characters crisscross in a series of erotic encounters, exploring whether gay men are increasingly trapped by monogamy, or whether their sexual encounters are fuelled by hunger for elusive, meaningful connections. The play addresses coming out, homophobia, HIV, and keeping the closet door firmly closed. DiPietro's dialogue is as challenging and provocative as it is seductive.
This specially approved new version sees three actors play multiple characters as one encounter flips to the next. Continuously circling in twosomes, meet the escort, the soldier, the graduate student, the playwright, the Hollywood star, the college kid, the journalist, the married couple, and the porn star, their faults and strengths, and be absorbed by what they learn about themselves and others through the sex they have.
F*cking Men is a fearless dissection and audacious celebration of sexuality that will fascinate audiences of every persuasion.
"Superb writing and wonderful performances. Much more involving and thought-provoking than the title may imply" - Gay Times
:A great night's entertainment. Highly recommended" - BritishTheatre.com
"With a ballsy title, one would expect a ballsy play and DiPietro certainly does not
disappoint. F*cking Men brings Grindr to life"- British Theatre Guide
