Young Vic · London · From 10 October

An unprepared male comedian is handed an anonymous woman's thoughts about sex and must read them aloud for the first time.

First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.

Comedy
The story

An anonymous woman has written a frank account of female desire and what she thinks about when she thinks about sex with men. Each performance gives that script to a male comedian who has never seen it before, making his unrehearsed reading part of the work's examination of whose voice is speaking and who is being watched.

In the room

The performer changes from night to night and is revealed only at the performance, so the piece depends on a genuine first reading rather than rehearsed interpretation.

Good fit if you like

anonymous writing, unrehearsed performance, frank discussions of desire and theatrical experiments with gender and perspective.
