1972: The Future of Sex
It’s 1972. An era of possibility and polyester and pubic hair.
Ziggy Stardust is on Top of the Pops, Penny is writing an essay on Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Christine is watching Deepthroat. Brian is confused.
With their trademark theatricality in tow, The Wardrobe Ensemble (Education, Education, Education) return to their old stomping ground to tell stories of the class of ‘72, accompanied by a live band and some spacehoppers.
A 60-minute romp through the ins and outs of those excellently awkward first sexual encounters.
Commissioned by Shoreditch Town Hall. Supported by Arts Council England, Bristol Ferment and Tobacco Factory Theatres Artist Development Fund.
“A witty, energetic and sympathetic celebration [of] adolescent sexuality” The Stage
Apr 30-May 11, Tue-Sat 8pm plus Sat 11 3pm, £16 upwards. For more info, visit bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/1972-the-future-of-sex
