A “hilarious” hit at Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Guardian), The Sex Lives of Puppets makes its Philadelphia premiere with a cheeky, honest and slightly shocking dive under the sheets. Inspired by real-life responses from the UK’s National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, Blind Summit Theatre’s impish cast of puppeteers and their delightfully frank senior citizen puppets explore the tangled world of sex, intimacy and modern human desire. “Mark Down and Ben Keaton's taut script couples ribaldry with moments of tenderness,” (The New York Times) delivering “a refreshingly positive message about shedding inhibitions and finding joy.” (The Stage)
Content Advisory:
This is one puppet show you definitely can’t bring the kids to – The Sex Lives of Puppets contains strong language with depictions of sexual activity and is recommended for audiences over age 18.
