F*cking Men Extends Run At Kings Head

Douglas Mayo25th February 201619th August 2015 News, Off West End

It has been announced that Joe DiPietro’s critically acclaimed play F*cking Men will extend its run at the King’s Head Theatre from 5 September – 26 September 2015. The play is a moving portrayal of hunger and desire as it follows the erotic encounters of 10 men in their interconnected search for sexual satisfaction. Each scene in the play is a frank, candid and sometimes brutally honest depiction of the lustful transaction between two men. It is a loose adaptation of the 19th century play La Ronde in which pairings of characters are featured in scenes preceding and succeeding sexual encounters. F*cking Men originally played at the Kings Head in 2009 and became the longest ever Off West End run of a play running for 9 months. Is this production set to repeat that record-breaking run?

Trainspotting at the King's Head Theatre, London

With the audience sat and stood around three sides, the action regularly erupts off the stage, from projectile soiled sheets to splashes of murky toilet water. At 65 minutes, it moves along at a cracking and sometimes disorienting pace that leaves you staggering out of the theatre feeling like you’ve been assaulted (but in a good way).

Once We Lived Here review King's Head Theatre

It’s a joy to see and hear creative Australian voices, onstage and off, in London. This show is worth a full scale production, properly funded and promoted. It’s a true pity its short season has now concluded.
