Synopsis

It's 1972. An era of possibility and polyester and pubic hair.

While Ziggy Stardust is on Top of the Pops

, Penny is writing an essay on Lady Chatterley's Lover

, Christine is watching Deep Throat and Brian is confused.

Devised by The Wardrobe Ensemble, 1972: The Future of Sex incorporates the company's trademark theatricality, irreverent humour and ensemble ingenuity to tell the story of three couples having sex for the first time – and a country on the brink of a sexual awakening.

Commissioned by Shoreditch Town Hall, the play was first seen there in 2014, before a UK tour in 2015, including performances at Bristol Old Vic and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

It was revived at the Bristol Old Vic in 2019.
