Join us for the world premiere of BUYSEXUAL - a new play by Andrew Riddles - at the Ottawa Fringe Festival June 13-22, 2024!The PERSUASION Theatre Company is out and proud about its new show BUYSEXUAL. This one-hour play by Ottawa playwright Andrew Riddles tells the story of Leslie who believes life has no surprises left in store for her. That is, until her husband Brian rocks their relationship to its foundations by asking if he can visit a sex worker.
BUYSEXUAL is a five-act dramedy about sex and where to get it. It asks the question: Is it better to want more, or be happy with what you have? It has quick wit and side-splitting laughs paired with culturally relevant commentary on sex work, marriage, patriarchy and the choices we make. The play explores important themes in a humorous, open and powerful way.
Starring:
Kim Blanche as Leslie
Harold Swaffield as Brian
Heather Trent as Cordelia
Heather Evens as Amanda
Logan Indewey as Nine-Inch Nils
This production is directed by Elle Attson and Andrew Riddles, stage managed by Keanna Louis-Charles, and produced by all three. Thera Pritchard has joined as Executive Producer.
