Sly Rat Theatre Co. & The NIDA Independent Program Presents 'SHOPPING AND F**KING' by Mark Ravenhill

Following the success of their debut, 'The Martyrs', in Melbourne, Sly Rat Theatre Co. and The NIDA Independent Program presents Mark Ravenhill's controversial classic, 'Shopping and F**king' at the NIDA Parade Theatre ... Mark is a recovering addict. For him, rehabilitation means that love and sex are now purely 'transactions'. No connections. For Robbie and Lulu, The sterile corporate world is a kill-or-be-killed existence. Money is the only thing standing between them and their next ready-made-meal-for-one. Gary needs a father. It is the only way he can fulfil his dark sexual fantasy. Brian, a violent drug lord with soft-spot for The Lion King, wants to teach them all a timely lesson on the power of capital and the vicious torture awaiting those that don't 'fit in' with capitalism's great plan. Shopping & F***king has been making waves ever since its first production in the 90s. Two decades later, its world of blank-faced consumerism, hollow sexual encounters and it's terrifying quest for love and meaning still ring true...
