Following last year's one-man show Clothes to Fall Apart In, The Off-Off-Off-Broadway Company returns with two-hander THE SEXES – a darkly amusing, gender-bending portrait of a marriage.

After years of playing lovers on stage, Lars (Laura Louise Baker) and Jaquée's (Jaacq Hugo) off-stage marriage is tested when they find they are both vying for the same, gender-unspecified film role. A provocative blend of theatre, video and new writing, The Sexes studies a man and a woman’s manipulation of their audiences and each other.

Formed by writer-director Polis Loizou and performance artist Jaacq Hugo whilst studying Film & Video Production at the University of Derby, The Off-Off-Off-Broadway Company sees the marriage of their mutual love of fine art, cinema and theatre. The Sexes was written specifically for Jaacq and former classmate Laura Louise Baker, the new addition to a growing and ambitious young company. The piece premiered at Brighton Festival Fringe in May before moving to Buxton Fringe in July.

A one-act play, 1 hour approx, no interval.

‘Profound… Superb… Well worth an hour of your time.’ – Three Weeks

'A deal of fun to be had with this gender-bending.’ – Buxton Fringe Review
