Let’s Not Talk About Sex – It’s cancer prevention
Saw a very cute play! Where did the passion go? That’s the question Roger, the dreamer, is asking after 20 years with his activist wife, Sherry. In his quest for an answer, he and Sherry embark on a series of hilarious sexual encounters, that come just as close to tearing them apart, as to sparking the flames like never before. The result is a humorous and thought provoking roller coaster ride in an American marriage. It is a funny, laugh-out-loud, “adult” production, but also gives cause to ponder on a deeper message about relationships, love, lust, sexuality, and secret longings and fantasies.
