Romance, family, friendship and… blackmail?
Lad has everything he could want in life; a great job, a great mother, a great broadband connection. He’s missing one thing: love. What lengths will Lad go to to find true intimacy and who is watching from the sidelines, waiting to exploit him.
A romping new comedy from Samantha Gray, debuting at the Space Theatre for the first time. A tale of modern dating as a currency, where money and romance meet with direful consequences. Sacred & Profane implores the audience to ask themselves what is really real when we outsource our love lives to technology.
Samantha Gray is a writer-director of comedy-dramas. She loves to find small and personal stories of shame and misery and manipulate them into absurdist comedies, unifying an audience in a shared catharsis.
Her first play, Essentially Painless, explored the strange and uncomfortable world of women’s sexual health. The play was subsequently adapted into a short film of the same name, which will be on the festival circuit in 2024.
“I’m professional. I’m a professional person. I have contacts and networks and I pay bills and I wear cufflinks. I have a pension plan and I go to christenings and I eat scallops. I’m an adult. I’m an adult man and I have a reputation and this is harassment. It’s sexual harassment.”
