Sexual Perversity in Chicago is a classic play wrote in 1974 by David Mamet, one of the most respected directors from America, accounting many awards from his works on both stage and screen. If Sexual Perversity in Chicago is not specifically about sex, this is one of the topics that the play touches, as the story is about the timeless subject of ordinary people looking for love (and consequently, for sex).
The single bar scene is the scenery of Sexual Perversity in Chicago, where two friends named Danny and Bernie who are completely ordinary, average guys spending their lives looking for women to hook up with in places such as bars libraries and practically everywhere you may find some sex. The story takes shape when Danny meets Deborah who has a roommate named Joan. While Danny and Deborah begin an affair, the other two starts to submit pressure on the couple creating funny, intelligent and provocative situations. The sex lives of all the characters and their attitudes towards relationships and commitment are the central theme for the play.
Although being written 31 years ago Sexual Perversity in Chicago is still very actual, since subjects as the search for sex and love, the differences between men and women and their necessity in uncovering the secrets and details of the opposite sex remain unaffected by time.
One of the most recent adaptations from Sexual Perversity in Chicago staged in 2003 brought together a cast of world famous and Emmy-nominated stars such as Mathew Perry, famous by his ten years in the TV show Friends and Hank Azaria who provide the voices from various characters from the animation The Simpsons, together with Minnie Driver and Kelly Reilly depicting the sex lives of the four characters. |
