Mother Clap's Molly House
Event Date: 11/02/2015, 07:30 pm
A musical play, bursting with outrageous characters, graphic sexuality and handsome men!
It’s London, 1726, and Mrs Tull is struggling to save her frock-hire business. She hits on a plan to open a molly house – a brothel where the ‘girls’ are boys in drag – and soon business is booming!
Meanwhile, in a trendy 21st century Bloomsbury loft, a gay relationship is disintegrating amidst the drugs and toys of a sex party.
Shifting deftly between time periods, acclaimed British playwright Mark Ravenhill (Shopping and Fucking) has created a subversive and astringent satire that celebrates the diversity of human sexuality and explores our emotional need to form families whilst simultaneously slamming the commodification of sex.
After presenting the Australian premiere a decade ago, New Theatre is thrilled to be reviving this riotous gay romp of a musical play, bursting with outrageous characters, bawdy songs and handsome men!
“Wonderfully exuberant … celebrates Sodom like there’s no Gomorrah” The Guardian
