SEX OBJECT

$5.40$15.00

Pornography is ruining Ben's life. It seemed ok until he had a problem. A big problem. Now the dinner party he's hosting with his faux-spiritual girlfriend Veronica is the last thing on his mind. But it shouldn't be. Veronica's outlandish brother Gustav isn't just coming over for ravioli. He's coming over for a revolution.

Produced to rave reviews in New York, Sydney, and Melbourne, Sex Object is a modern Australian play about beauty and sex in an age of phones, porn and pretence.

EXTRACT: RON You don\'t ever feel like Ben, like people like Ben, maybe, they have more freedom in some ways, because they don\'t care about, you know, beauty? Pause. Wouldn\'t it be nice not to worry about what you looked, like, what your life looked like, what the clothes you wore looked like. That would be freedom wouldn\'t it?
