Synopsis

Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's LA RONDE, JITTERBUGGING: SCENES OF SEX IN A SOCIETY is set in 1947.

A cycle of brief sexual encounters in a seaside New England hotel begins with the seduction of a soldier by a whore and ends with the seduction of that whore by the mayor.

The play contrasts the sadness of the manipulative liaisons with the surface optimism of period songs.
