Porn.Cake

15 April 2011 – 08 May 2011 Beckett Theatre

Malthouse Theatre,

The modern sex comedy is turned on its head and the curious nature of our indulgences and obsessions given an enticingly extra twist. Two Gen X couples sit down at a table for some cake, but from the outset distractions, misunderstandings and contradictory desires put a kitchen knife through any chance at pleasantries. Add fairies at the bottom of the garden, stir through some road rage and binge drinking, sprinkle with perverse nostalgia and serve hot.

 

"POLITELY FEROCIOUS AND CHARMINGLY OBSCENE. PORN.CAKE DOCUMENTS LIVES TRAPPED IN THE EXTENDED MOMENTS POST-ADOLESCENCE AND PRE-SENILITY — AND THEN IT FILLS YOUR HEART WITH JOY." 

— Chris Mead, Playwriting Australia
