F**king Men
April to June 2023
The Fringe Classic, Raw and Updated...
​
The hit play F**king Men by Tony-winning Joe DiPietro returns to London in a new updated version for 2023
​
This dramatic comedy follows ten men through a series of erotic encounters that change their lives in small but significant ways.
In a raw and updated new version for 2023, Tony-winning writer Joe DiPietro takes a sharp and insightful look at the experiences of modern gay men as they navigate their conflicting desires for the comfort of monogamous love and the thrill of sexual freedom.
A modern retelling of Schnitzler’s infamous classic La Ronde, F**cking Men is a fascinating, funny and provocative story of sex, love and connection.
​
Joe DiPietro said: “I couldn’t be more excited to debut this updated version of ‘F**king Men’. Much about our queer lives has evolved and changed since the play’s debut, so to bring contemporary attitudes to this roundelay of sex, love and intimacy has opened up new layers of meaning. I’m especially excited to see this play through a youthful and modern lens, which promises to deliver a sexy, incisive and hilarious night out.”
