WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Who's to blame when lovers stray? You be the judge. Six Degrees of Fornication - a dramedy about love, lust and temporary insanity - gives the audience a racy peek into the bedroom of three men & three women whose lives intersect as each of them struggles with fidelity. This ribald full-length dramedy grew out of a short play featured in this past summer's smash hit at the Whitefire Theatre - "Friday Night Quickies". This provocative play contains language, sexuality and nudity.
COMPANY A will perform on January 28th, February 4th and 11th, and March 4th
COMPANY B will perform on February 18th and 25th

DELICIOUSLY AWKWARD & FUNCOMFORTABLE!
Dave Wallys new play is not for everyone. If you pale at the idea of watching live theatre that contains partial nudity, simulated cunnilingus, bisexual dominatrix prostitues, and hand jobs played for laughs, then by all means, stay far, far away.
However, if youre a rational, open-minded adult who finds the sexual politics of the modern age curiously lacking in a sense of humor about the ridiculousness of it all, then youre in for a fun, provocative night of Los Angeles theatre.
"Everybody lies in bed" is both a terrible pun and the shows central theme -- and its very telling that the most direct, honest character in the show is mostly seen in silly costumes. Wally sets out to find the fun in dysfunction, creating a cast of characters that identify as "straight", "gay", or "whatever". Yet even with all the bed-hopping shenanigans, often played for shock value, Wally never draws judgement or morality into play, creating bizarrely sweet empathy out of some characters who are, on the surface, not entirely likable.
Its a profane, deliciously awkward and decidedly funcomfortable show that offers some pretty unstable glass houses, but never asks us to throw stones -- instead hinting that our own hazy, transparent reflection is often looking back at us in glints and shards.

Review
Sexy, smart, controversial and painfully funny. This is a well-written show and an engaging evening of theater. It is indeed a La Ronde for the new millennium. Check it out!
