A shocking yet tasteful exposé of the facts of life, from the fictional 'National Theatre of Brent'.
Having boldly tackled the Charles and Diana story in Love Upon the Throne, having presented nothing less than the birth of Christ on stage in The Messiah, Desmond Dingle and the entire ensemble of the National Theatre of Brent - Raymond Box - at the personal behest of Sir Trevor Nunn of the National Theatre, now fearlessly expose us to the wonder of sex.
Patrick Barlow's comedy The Wonder of Sex was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 2001.
Patrick Barlow is an English actor, comedian and playwright. His comedic alter ego, Desmond Olivier Dingle, is the founder, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the two-man National Theatre of Brent, which has performed on stage, on television and on radio.
As a playwright, his work includes: a stage adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps (West Yorkshire Playhouse, 2005, then Tricycle Theatre and West End, as well as productions in Australia, New Zealand and Broadway); The Wonder of Sex (National Theatre, London, 2001); Love Upon the Throne (Edinburgh Festival and West End, 1998); and The Messiah (Tricycle Theatre, London, 1983; revived in a new version for a UK tour, 2018).
