Fucking Men
Fucking Men is a free-wheeling adaptation of the 19th century play La Ronde, in which ten men in ten scenes sleep with and seduce one another; each encounter subtly, sometimes radically, changing their lives. The search for emotional fulfillment—the thread that connects the episodes in La Ronde—is given fresh resonance in Tony Award®-winning playwright Joe DiPietro’s hilarious and heartwarming take on the German classic, transposed to the gay subculture in contemporary Manhattan.

Press Quotes
“London’s longest-running fringe hit… A highly populated comedy of gay sexual manners. It deals with the pleasures and limitations of anonymous, ‘cheap, quickie sex,’ and the hunger for connection.” - Maxie Szalwinska, The Guardian
“DiPietro has turned what was once an exploration of primarily heterosexual relationships into a look at the lives of modern, urban gay men. And it works perfectly.” - Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun Times
