  • Sex Lives of Others
    Typer Productions in association with Louise Chantal Productions presents SEX LIVES OF OTHERS Pleasance Courtyard (This), 60 Pleasance, Edinburgh, EH8 9TJ 2.15pm, Wednesday 31st July – Monday 26th August 2013 g We all know what they’re up to… Don’t we? Sex Lives of Others from Keely Winstone (Royal Court Writers’ Programme 2013) and award- winning director Hannah Eidinow (winner of 5 Fringe Firsts) is an eye-watering new comedy about what’s really going on next door that premieres at the Pleasance Courtyard for the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe. Home-alone while their three kids are away for the weekend, Hilary and James are playing Mumford and Sons. Hungover Sonny (acclaimed stand-up Matt Green) is having his ears raped by Mumford and Sons while his horny girlfriend Kerry (Waterloo Road actress Jessica Baglow) isn’t bloody interested in Mumford and Sons - all she wants is a shag. Hilary and James still think they’re ‘up for anything’ even if they’d rather the two new kids next door weren’t quite so loud in bed. But the noises coming from the neighbours aren’t quite what either couple thinks… Especially after a contested game of Boggle, a row over a rampant-rabbit carrot and a musical aphrodisiac gone wrong. The play has already got people talking: Jo Brand describes it as ‘Gloriously filthy, darkly funny and bold as you like’. Jane Garvey of Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour says it’s ‘like a grittier Frayn, crossed with a dirtier Ayckbourn. Brilliant word play.’ Matt Green has played to packed audiences at the Festival since his solo stand-up debut in 2008.
