The Sex Party by Terry Johnson

Written and directed by TERRY JOHNSON Four couples gather in a suburban home for an evening of wine, cheese and more intimate pleasures. Seasoned swingers and curious newcomers alike are intrigued and unsettled by the arrival of one guest in particular, and comic mayhem ensues.

The Sex Party by Terry Johnson is a black comedy about sexual freedom, gender politics, consent and liberation. Humorous and satirical, farcical and thoughtful, the play explores the complexity of contemporary sexual relations in a bold, erotic, and hilarious manner.

Only suitable for adults. 18+
