Description: 'Mother Clap's Molly House', a black comedy with songs, is a riotous celebration of the diversity of human sexuality, skipping between eighteenth century London and 2001, where a group of wealthy gay men are preparing the drugs and video cameras for a sex party. The play is both an affectionate examination of the vitality and liberation of the molly house's counterculture, and a regretful comment on the commodification of sex and love. 'Mother Clap's Molly House' premiered in 2001 at the National Theatre, London.
