Well yes and no. It's sexy, but pedestrian. Hieronymus Bosch in Smethwick. Hetty and I found a little alcove with our Sauvignon.
Four couples gather in a suburban London home for a night of wine, cheese, and more intimate pleasures. Some are curious newcomers, some are old hands, but one guest takes them all by surprise. Thus an evening full of promise is poised to go beyond anyone's expectations.
Terry Johnson's The Sex Party premiered at the Menier Chocolate Factory, London, in November 2022.
