Your Sexts are Shit: Older Better Letters
Description
Outburst are so excited to welcome award-winning theatre-maker Rachel Mars to the festival for the first time, with a gloriously rude show that unearths the hot-as-hell letters that make sexts blush.
Before sexts there were hand-written letters. And loads of them were proper filthy. With the help of the internet, friends and two sexologists, Rachel has unearthed missives dating back centuries.
Triangulating these sex and love letters of long dead artists and writers with contemporary sexts and ameditation on the construction of the queer female body, the show is a tenderand surprising hour that asks – how do we write ourselves and for whom?
Come! Take pleasure in James Joyce’s passion for arse, find out who sneaked her gay lover into the White House, hear from Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, Mozart and bear witness to the best/worst sexts ever sent.
This delightfully intimate, very funny and surprisingly moving show is an erotic archive shot through with Rachel’s personal ventures in contemporary Queer kink.
A triumphant show… dripping with uninhibited desire.
