Two-act comedy about sex, about
how we learn about the birds and the bees. It's Betty's birthday. She's 60ish and married
to retired sailor Rusty, a superb cook. He's whipped up a
fantastic meal for his beloved's birthday bash. Guests
are their son Brian, boring and middle-aged, and Brian's
clever and lively wife Jean. Son/grandson Alan and his
girlfriend Leonie are also in on the free feed. The only
missing family member is grandson Peter Now although we
never meet young Peter, he is the real star of this play.
In-between courses, Brian tells the others
he's about to tell his young son the facts of life. Brian
thinks the world has gone mad and telling kids about sex
today is bloody difficult. Mind you, being a super
serious person, Brian finds lots to complain about.
So we have three generations of the same
family all discussing the right and wrong ways to tell
children the facts of life. It's funny, dramatic and
eventually surprising. And when one family member
suggests a way of making money from sex-education, your
production takes a new and potentially profitable twist.
How to make more money from your show! Literally!
Can you remember how you learnt the facts of life? Well
most of those methods and courses and others are revealed in this
character-based comedy on this very important subject. 80 minutes of
laughter, a thought-provoking comedy.
