The Talk archiveA funny and moving new play about that lesson and all those unfortunate bananas. Let's talk about sex education... Too much, too little, or just right? What do you wish you'd been taught (or, not taught) about sex and relationships? Over the last year, playwright Neela Dolezalova asked friends and strangers these questions, and they shared their memories and stories... From students to teachers, and doctors to former education secretaries, Neela has recorded over 40 hours of interview material from people in their teens to their nineties. Over 70 voices have been edited down to a 70-minute headphone verbatim show. These very personal interviews form the content for a new play that will make you laugh, cry, wince and possibly snort. The interviews have been edited to capture the essence of each voice and the actors perform whilst listening to the recorded material through headphones. This technique allows every breath, every utterance, every idiosyncratic detail of the speaker to be captured by the performer. Once you've heard 'The Talk', you won't forget it. From the wonderful and bizarre to the truly worrying, 'The Talk' charts the political and social history of sex and relationship education in England.
