This play manages to do something I’d kind of assumed was impossible: Make a sexy fringe play. There’ve been a lot of Fringe plays *about* sex. But just being a Fringe play about sex doesn’t mean it’s sexy. This play was done (in part, at least) by the same person as did a play I saw at the 2006 Fringe called Girls Guide that was about sex, but was more funny than sexy.

This play pulls it off, though. Not through nudity (though there is some, it’s more raw than sexy in that regard), but through direct exploration of people’s fantasies. The fantasies range from the mundane (having sex with the husband) to the bizarre (plant planet penetration) to the hilarious (can’t tell you the funniest one, because it’d ruin the punchline. But it’s funny). In exploring every nook and cranny of sexuality, it manages to find all the hot parts and bring them to light by actors completely unembarrassed by the subject matter.

This is easily one of the top plays I’ve seen this year so far, and I really think people should see it. Apparently if Calgary is anything to go by, it’ll be selling out by the end of its run, so get in there and see it.
