Description
Balling. Boffing. Getting laid and making love. Its all sex. And there’s so much to say about sex.
“The year’s wildest, wittiest whirlwind of a love battle… Outrageously racy… Sparkling… Gay!” (His Girl Friday, 1940)
Well, a bit gay. It’s complicated.
Uproarious jealousy and sexy quick wit play into claustrophobic bedroom politics in this viciously sharp queer comedy of errors filled with delight and desire. Rob and Annie are playing house when the past comes knocking, switching things up in their bedroom.
It’s whip smart, it’s funny, it’s about sexual subtext and you can’t spell subtext without butt-sex.
