Slap&Tickle
is a funny, sexy and provocative play about modern gay man's quest for
sexual and emotional fulfillment in a landscape changed over the past
25 years by drugs, politics, HIV and the
internet. Six actors
portray twenty recurring characters whose lives all intersect in
surprising, humorous and revealing ways. The stories shared range from
first kisses to last loves; from on-line hookups to off-line breakups;
from sleeping bag seductions to bathroom rapes. Like Terrence McNally’s
The Ritz
and Eve Ensler’s The
Vagina Monologues, David Parr’s Slap
& Tickle shines fresh light on the darkest of
places, giving voice
to the defining experiences of our lives that are too often kept
silent. What emerges is a play not just about sex but about our
universal desire to connect.
