Straight
Porn stars and pints aplenty in this new show about sex and intimacy.
Overview
After a stellar season at London’s iconic Bush Theatre last year, Straight is having its Australian premiere at Melbourne institution, Red Stitch.
After years of marriage, Lewis and his wife Morgan are confined to their claustrophobic apartment and dreaming of starting a family. But when Lewis’ effortlessly cool friend Waldorf comes to stay, he turns the couple’s cosy life upside down, and awakens their fear of commitment. Over the course of a play punctuated by explosive one-liners, the characters push the boundaries of good taste, common sense, and intimacy. And on a drunken night out, Waldorf and Lewis make a bet — one which pushes this flirtatious romp to breaking point.
Adapted by writer DC Moore from the feature film Humpday, and featuring the onstage talent of Red Stitch’s resident actors, Straight is a comedy that looks equal parts hilarious and humane — a sticky cocktail of fragile tenderness and amateur pornography.
