SLAP & TICKLE
by DAVID PARR
SOUTH FLORIDA PREMIERE
MAY 16 – JUNE 9, 2019
“Slap & Tickle” by David Parr is a generational portrait about how drugs, politics and HIV have changed the landscape for gay men in America from the early 1980’s to the early 2000’s. Set in a contemporary bathhouse and told through the kaleidoscopic view of 26 characters, many of them recurring, the stories told range from first kisses to last loves; from station wagons to saunas; from sleeping bag seductions to bathroom rapes. What emerges is a universal play not just about sex, but about the intimacy and urgency of storytelling itself.
WARNING: THIS PLAY CONTAINS MALE NUDITY!
Price: $22.50 – $35.00
