John Cameron Mitchell, Elliot Page, Morgan Spector, Constance Wu, and More Join GOOD SEX At Powerhouse Arts

Powerhouse: International will soon present GOOD SEX, a new play by Ireland’s Dead Centre and Emilie Pine, featuring a rotating cast that includes John Cameron Mitchell, Elliot Page, Morgan Spector, Constance Wu, Brandon Flynn, and Chris Perfetti.

This theatrical experiment makes intimacy coordination its central event, asking the question: How do you have sex onstage? Each night, two new performers—strangers who have never rehearsed together or read the script—will step into a story of desire, betrayal, and loneliness. Joined onstage by a live intimacy director, they navigate boundaries and vulnerability in real time.

Performances will run November 5–8, 2025, at Powerhouse Arts (322 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn).

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

GOOD SEX is written by Dead Centre with Emilie Pine and directed by Ben Kidd, with dramaturgy by Bush Moukarzel and production by Tilly Taylor. The creative team also includes Aedín Cosgrove (set design), Stephen Dodd (lighting design), Jenny O’Malley (sound design and music), Mae Leahy (costume design), and Abigail Kessel (intimacy direction), with original intimacy choreography and protocols by Sue Mythen. Gavin Kennedy serves as production manager, Olivia Drennan as stage manager, and Caparelliotis Casting provides special guest casting.

First premiered at the 2022 Dublin Theatre Festival, GOOD SEX reframes intimacy coordination as a live act of theatre, turning consent, connection, and risk into its subject and form. The production marks Dead Centre’s return to New York following acclaimed presentations of Lippy (Obie Award winner) at Abrons Arts Center, Hamnet at BAM, and Chekhov’s First Play at Irish Arts Center.
