Location: Herald Theatre
What happens when someone awakens to discover they have shared the most intimate of acts with a person they do not know? From this starting point we see eight couples regain blurry-eyed consciousness in the same situation but each reacts and relates with a dramatic difference. Sex with Strangers is theatre with a dark sense of humour that uses a provocative premise as a starting point for surreal vignettes about relationships, sexual politics and lifestyles, loneliness and human vulnerability.
Patchy but, overall, thoroughly enjoyable.
