The Sluts of Sutton Drive
By Joshua Conkel
“Would you ever want to sit with me in the dark? Just sit with the lights out, barely even touching, maybe not touching at all, and just listen to me breathe?”
Everybody wants a piece of Stephanie Schwartz. Her son’s demanding nuggets, her boyfriend wants her to wax and her best friend’s taking her to a stripping class. Now there’s a rapist on Sutton Drive, an obscene caller invading her home and a portal to hell beneath her sofa. How far must she go to make it all stop? And how far is too far?
A heart-breaking, taboo-busting black comedy by Joshua Conkel, “the most important queer playwright of his generation” (Doric Wilson, the Co-Founder of Off-Off-Broadway’s very first theatre, Caffé Cino.)
“Perhaps the most memorable elements of the show are the bold choices of director Rebecca Atkinson-Lord.”
— Amy Stow (WhatsOnStage)
“Things eventually go with a bang in Rebecca Atkinson-Lord's production, which makes the most of the wise-cracking comedy and boasts a fantastic performance from Georgia Buchanan as the increasingly unhinged heroine.”
— Lyn Gardner (the Guardian)
“Atkinson-Lord’s direction adds power to the already punchy dialogue with a cheeky direction or two…It’s a playful production, that pushes all the right buttons, and I challenge you not to leave with aching cheeks from laughing so hard.”
— Jake Orr (A Younger Theatre)
