Sex In Shorts is a catchy title for six ten-minute plays about love and all sorts.

Shorthand scriptwriting to develop situations and relationships is a challenge, best met by the two solo turns.

Garry Freer was magnificent as the outrageously opportunistic freeloader who learns to compensate for what Nature didn’t endow. The risqué rude and funny sketch was written by Lorraine Mullaney who was also responsible for a horrible holiday romance suffered by Daniel Lovett and Kitty Underhill with Jenny DeLisle as Aussie Anybodys. When Daniel wasn’t up Jacob’s Creek, he was hilarious as footballer Ched Evans, permanently conflating balls and goal scoring, twanging testosterone around the stage.

Writer Norman Miller has a nice ear for contemporary slang and this sketch was more effective than his slightly surreal Romeo And Juliet, tango-style, even with Margarita Steinberg and Ben du Boulay as attractive dancing partners and dominatrix Kitty Underhill.

Gero Chiave reworked the cliché as a gay couple break up because of the children and in another tale of our time, naively romantic Garry goes online to find love from the Philippines.

Bite-size theatre for theme eternal.

Three stars
