Let’s talk about sex, baby.
We live in a world saturated with sexual imagery – but how often do we talk about sex as it’s really felt, experienced or imagined? And why is theatre so seldom a part of that conversation?
Hotbed is CPT’s brand new festival of sex: three weeks of adventurous performance guaranteed to expand your carnal knowledge. From the ubiquity of porn to the secrets of your sexual fantasies, from a celebration of sex-positivity to the difficulties of representing sex onstage, this twenty-one night stand lays bare sex, 2017-style. Come join us at CPT’s sexual congress for a bit of what you fancy – and more.
Featuring the premiere of Oh Yes Oh No, the new show from Pretty Ugly and A Girl and A Gun creator Louise Orwin.
