sex.violence.blood.gore – MKA: Theatre of New Writing

Overview

If the words sex, violence, blood, and gore don't get your attention, then nothing will. How about a scene between an ex-prime minister and Annabel Chong, star of what was described as the World's Biggest Gang Bang? Has your heartbeat risen? Palms turned sweaty?

Written by multi-award-winning Singaporean playwright Alfian bin Sa'at, sex.violence.blood.gore began its life as a secret squirrel underground affair in Singapore. Still avoiding the mainstream, it re-emerged in a pop-up theatre space in Melbourne, and now it's come to say hi to us in Sydney.

If the idea of Japanese soldiers on their last night with their shared sex-slave or a nymphomaniac geography teacher at the height of her sexual awakening floats your boat, then off to the Old Fitz with you. Directed by Stephen Nicolazzo and performed by a cast of seven, these vignettes focusing on carnal urges are sure to excite. The bondage-style costumes will alone.
