Sex with Strangers

Overview

In this age of Tinder, Grindr and three dollar basics, the idea of sex with strangers isn’t as foreign as it is frequent. All it takes is a brief hello, a shot or two of tequila, intentions splayed on a table, and hey presto, you’ve Romeo’d your way into sex with a stranger. And there’s no better, funny, and deeply concentrated exploration of the fast-paced, frivolous and sometimes messy situations that can arise from this, than the Powerhouse’s Sex with Strangers.

This play follows strangers Ethan – a star sex blogger and memoirist, and Olivia, his idol and obscure novelist. What ensues, is attraction, cravings and a dark side of ambition that revolves around three little letters – s-e-x. Sex with Strangers is a compelling story that explores the near impossibility of reinventing oneself when the past made forever at the hands of Google, and how identity can be shaped by these types of 'incidents'.

Obvious warning here, don’t take your kids. This one’s for mum and dad, and all you Tinder felons.
