promiscuous/cities conjures up a symphony of a night in a big city. Within this city, we each create the myth of ourselves. Yet underneath the vision we sell on social media – like! – is mile after mile of distance between us.

The project is part of an exchange between performance-training institutions the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), University of Melbourne, and Central. The production is the UK premiere of a work by one of Australia’s hottest playwrights, Lachlan Philpott, directed by his long-time collaborator, Alyson Campbell. Together they have worked as queer assemblage wreckedAllprods for 20 years.

This production contains sexual content, references to sex with a minor, violence, discussion of body image, explicit language, references to drugs, gunshot sound effects, low-frequency sounds, flashing and moving lights, smoke effects and use of haze.
