Joe DiPietro’s F**KING MEN returns to London for final season
F**king Men by multi award-winning playwright Joe DiPietro will return to London’s Waterloo East Theatre for a strictly limited six-week run from 22 March-4 May, it has been announced.
Steven Kunis returns to direct a new cast, including Rob Alexander-Adams (Macbeth, Donmar Warehouse/West End) as Leo and Donald; Peter Caulfield (To Wong Foo the Musical, Hope Mill Theatre) as Steve, Brandon and Jack; Benedict Clarke (Much Ado About Nothing, Cambridge Arts Theatre) as John, Kyle and Ryan; and Sven Ironside (Fast Love, Theatre 503/Lion and Unicorn Theatre) as Marco and Sammy.
Inspired by the classic play La Ronde, Joe DiPietro reimagines the interwoven tales of sexual power, discovery, and exploration in the context of today’s gay scene.
A modern retelling of Schnitzler’s infamous classic La Ronde, F**king Men is a fascinating, funny, and provocative story of sex, love, and connection. This dramatic comedy follows 10 men through a series of erotic encounters that change their lives in small but significant ways. In this raw and updated new version, Joe DiPietro takes a sharp and insightful look at the experiences of modern gay men as they navigate their conflicting desires for the comfort of monogamous love and the thrill of sexual freedom.
The creative team also includes lighting designer Alex Lewer, set and costume designer Cara Evans, composer and sound designer Julian Starr, and movement and intimacy director Lee Crowley.
