…lusciously farcical exploration of frustrated lusts
The Guardian Recommended
With erotica as a theme and infidelity, sexual liberation and gratification as its undercurrents, this play is not for Mary Whitehouse sympathisers. True to its title it’s positively oozing with juice, twisting and turning about the tantalising topic of sex, but voyeurs can stop there, it’s no peep show. It’s too clever and covert to be that obvious. As far as contemporary comedy goes this one is the cream of the crop.
