I MAKE SEX REALISTIC.

NOT REAL.

IT’S ALL CHOREOGRAPHY.

How do you have sex on stage? How do you even have sex?

To try and find an answer, each night, two brand new performers tell a story of desire, betrayal and loneliness. They have never rehearsed together or read the script. They are strangers.

But they are not alone — to help and guide them they are joined on stage by an Intimacy Director, trained in the art of teaching people how to touch. So you can rest assured that the sex is safe. It is consensual. And it is good.

After two years when touching was a transgressive act, and our bodies were sites of sickness, Dead Centre and award-winning novelist and essayist Emilie Pine created Good Sex, a love story for a loveless age.

Runtime: ~80 minutes.
