Such Filthy Fucks

Can you be addicted to porn? That’s the central question in this intriguing play. Oli Forsyth has written a thoughtful and intelligent consideration of the pressures which can drive us away from human contact and the efforts we should make to return to relationships. Alice McCarty and Olivier Huband cover a variety of characters efficiently, immediately conveying who and where they are. A few oddities: Will tells Luka to sit, refers to her sitting there, whilst she remains standing. Surely the writer/director could have smoothed this out. Great use of back projected titles to set the scene on a simple white set. Despite a gentle, suggestion of an ending, this play is well worth listening to.
