1972: The Future of Sex

“This is it! 1972! Free floating across the cosmos like groovy astronauts.”

It’s 1972 – a time of endless possibilities, polyester and pubic hair. Ziggy Stardust is on Top of the Pops, Pride protesters take to the streets and free love is here!

1972: The Future Of Sex follows various characters as they navigate the up and downs of sexual liberation. A hard and fast look at an era of revolution and shifting societal norms. It was so much easier back then, right?

Originally devised and performed by The Wardrobe Ensemble, this new production was adapted by Barry Fitzgerald, Joe Baldwin and the company.

1972 will set pulses racing and bodies grooving with newly composed music, a live band, wild theatricality and beanbags.
