Synopsis
The Sluts of Sutton Drive
Published by Oberon
3 Male 2 Female
Everybody wants a piece of Stephanie Schwartz
Her son's demanding nuggets, her boyfriend wants her to wax and her best friend's taking her to a striptease class
And now there's a rapist on Sutton Drive
And an obscene caller invading her home
And a Portal to Hell beneath her sofa
How far must she go to make it all stop?
And how far is too far?
A heart‐breaking, taboo‐busting black comedy
REVIEWS
"Joshua Conkel ... the most important queer playwright of his generation" ~ Doric Wilson, co‐founder of Off‐Off‐Broadway's first theatre - Café Cino
"Featuring a rapist, two grotesque murders, a dance to Kate Bush, hell unleashing itself and some fantastically laugh-out-loud and jaw dropping dialogue, The Sluts of Sutton Drive is a hoot and a half. Conkel's deliciously dark and comic play ... crude, hilarious and shocking ... pure entertainment bliss" ~ Jake Orr, A Younger Theatre
"A darkly comic exploration of a broken woman, and the extreme places our mind can take us when left unchecked. But foremost, it's crass, gory and surprising" ~ Tim Macavoy, So So Gay
"Incredibly funny" ~ Jo Sutherland, One Stop Arts
"Definitely not for the faint-hearted ... This weird play will make you laugh and gasp at the same time" ~ Carolin Kopplin, UK Theatre Network
"Entertaining, engaging, and at times downright hysterical .. sublimely surreal at its best" ~ Deborah Klayman, The Public Reviews
"Imagine if Desperate Housewives had been directed by Quentin Tarantino. Or if Thelma and Louise had been written by Martin McDonagh. Throw in a healthy pinch of David Lynch, and a nod towards Muriel's Wedding and you might come close to getting a taste of the deliciously disturbing world conjured up by American playwright Joshua Conkel" ~ Sebastian King, Curtain Up
