Overview

By Dead Centre with Emilie Pine

How do you have sex on stage? How do you even have sex?

To try and find an answer, each night, two brand new performers tell a story of desire, betrayal, and loneliness. They have never rehearsed together or read the script. They are strangers. But they are not alone—they are joined on stage by an intimacy director, trained in the art of teaching people how to touch. So you can rest assured that the sex will be safe. It will be consensual. And it will be good.

Acclaimed makers of innovative theatre Dead Centre returns to NYC after performances at BAM (Hamnet, 2019) and Irish Arts Center (Chekhov’s First Play, 2022) in collaboration with award-winning writer Emilie Pine to present a sublimely funny love story for a loveless age.

Presented in partnership with Irish Arts Center. First presented at Dublin Theatre Festival 2022.

“Raw, unsettling, seductive, provocative and very, very funny”—IRISH TIMES

Presented with generous support from Culture Ireland.
