Rachel Mars presents Your Sexts Are Shit: Older Better Letters
Fri 7 March, 7.45pm and Sat 8 March, 2.45pm & 7.45pm.
Award-winning theatre-maker Rachel Mars visits the Tron for the first time with a gloriously rude new show that unearths the hot-as-hell letters that make sexts blush. Delightfully intimate, very funny and surprisingly moving, Your Sexts Are Shit: Older Better Letters is an erotic archive of sexual communications through history shot through with Rachel's personal ventures in contemporary Queer kink.
Before sexts there were hand-written letters. And loads of them were proper filthy.
With the help of the internet, friends, and two sexologists, Mars has unearthed missives dating back centuries. Triangulating these sex and love letters of long dead artists with contemporary sexts and a meditation on the construction of the queer female body, the show is a tender and surprising hour that asks: how do we write ourselves and for whom?
Come! Take pleasure in James Joyce's passion for arse, find out who sneaked her gay lover into the White House, hear from Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Mozart, and bear witness to the best/worst sexts ever sent.
Theatre-maker Rachel Mars said: "The show is a hilarious and tender hour that reminds us we didn't invent sex, makes us wonder in the filth of history, and unearths some forgotten queer female voices from history. It is entertaining and moving, as it prods longing and secret desire as well as wanking, anal sex and some of the worst sexts ever sent."
