Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Captured in "explicit polaroid pictures", the characters of Ravenhill's play are a former social rebel who served time for assassination, his ex–girlfriend who made it "from hippie to yuppie", a nightclub stripper abused by her boyfriend, a gay man dying of AIDS and a sex slave he bought. This is a play about the vicissitudes of love, which, "without knowing shame", can arise from any "bullshit".

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
