promiscuous/cities

By Lachlan Philpott
Directed by Alyson Campbell

Can you feel the street's pulse, how it rushes through your veins like a drug?

He’s in trouble, she’s falling in love, they’re cheating, she’s trapped and he’s alone.

But keep moving since we mustn’t fall behind.

Stay connected – don’t want to miss out.

promiscuous/cities encompasses a night in a big city where each of us is frantically maintaining the myth of ourselves we’ve created. Yet underneath the vision of ourselves that we peddle on social media – like! – there is an aching distance between us.

Playwright Lachlan Philpott asks: How can we know a city when we don’t even know ourselves?
