Synopsis

It's London, 1726, and Mrs. Tull's got problems.

The whores are giving her a hard time, a man in a dress is looking for a job, her husband has a roving eye and the apprentice boy keeps disappearing on midnight walks.

Meanwhile, in 2001, a group of wealthy gay men are preparing for a raunchy party.

Mother Clap's Molly House, a black comedy with songs, is a celebration of the diversity of human sexuality, an exploration of our need to form families and a fascinating insight into a hidden chapter in London's history.
