THE STORY: 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.
“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.” —The Guardian (UK)
“★★★★★! Biting, hilarious and thought-provoking. The definitive version of FUCKING MEN.” —BroadwayWorld
“★★★★★! Truly phenomenal writing… beautifully raw and intimate. F**k me, it’s fantastic.” —All That Dazzles
“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.” —The Chicago Sun-Times
