"Sex With Strangers" presented by Stage West

SEX WITH STRANGERS
play program



It was a hot Texas Sunday afternoon when Dear Friend and The Travelling Toe attended the matinee production of "Sex With Strangers" at Stage West

The play was written by Laura Eason who is an Emmy award winner for writing on the popular cable show, "House of Cards".

An overview of the play as provided in promotional material by the theater is as follows:


When twenty-something star-sex blogger and memoirist Ethan tracks down his idol, the gifted but obscure forty-ish novelist Olivia in the middle of a blizzard, they find each carve what the other possesses.  As attraction turns to sex, and they inch closer to getting what they want, the truth comes out and both must confront the dark side of ambition and the trouble of reinventing oneself when the past is only a click away.


One incident in this play that was so funny is when Ethan becomes so distraught in not being to connect with WiFI and losing touch with the world.  Whereas Olivia found solace in reading actual books.  At first he could not see the attraction of having a real book to read when the world was just a keystrokes away...that is if you have access to the web.  

The two actors in this play were exceptional:

                                      Dana Schultes played Olivia

                                             Jake Buchanan played Ethan







Dear Readers, inquiring minds want to know - was there sex with strangers on stage?? Well, The travelling Toe never kisses and tells!!


Stage West scored another winner with this production!
