PLAY - I LOVE YOU, LET'S HAVE SEX

 

I LOVE YOU, LET’S HAVE SEX is an entertaining, quirky and fun play that offers some real insights into relationships. Using an innovative and interactive format, the script follows the lives of ‘Nidhi’ and ‘Vishal’ over what could be the period of one exciting evening or a number of years, while they struggle to make sense of themselves and each other. Keeping their sense of humour alive through thick and thin, the couple are determined to reach a ‘happy ending’, even if that means breaking the ‘fourth wall’ to get the help they need!

The play opened at the Delhi Contemporary Arts Festival to hugely positive response and has since then played across the country at venues as diverse as various independent performing spaces, at bars and pubs, as part of a therapist’s workshop session, at a conference, a community centre and even on invitation to a wedding celebration party!

Recognizing the universality of the content, the actors find ways in which to interact with the audience directly – leading to improvised audience involvement, some real ‘aha’ moments and more than a little madness!

The play offers insights into how relationships work and changes we can make as individuals to help find connection and empathy with each other.
