Details

A tawdry tale of tainted and twisted love! The Spirit of Youth is left for dead in a disused public toilet, known by the local gay men of a Somerset village as 'Club Sex'. It was here some five years ago that teenagers Andy and Bovril discarded their youth in favour of anoymous casual sex. But both 'Youth' and 'Love' would return with a vengeance to haunt them forever more.

UK Theatre Web: 02Jul06:
as his character's spirit/god/toilet, startling the audience with an unexpected sharpness which overwhelms the otherwise listless character. A contemporary theme with the sensibilities and straightforwardness of a Greek Tragedy. Sturdy direction by Gemma Greene complimented by Cressner's unadulterated sceneography reminiscent of an amphitheatre overrun perhaps by rowdy Eastenders. Lauren Duffie certainly does not play by the rules with such unconventional lighting, but then again, neither does playwright Barney Ashton. Ashton has the ability to mix and match styles with the ease of a post-modern poet, yet book walks the fine line of didacticism. Yet coupled with riveting direction and distracted by rich language it becomes less of a challenge to ignore the teacher and focus on his sexy assistant. More on Barney Ashton can be found on TGA's website.
