Opis

Ever been racially slurred in the sack? Ever been subjected to strangers yelling at you at 3 am about the most intimate details of your life? Ever been to New York? Six characters from wildly different backgrounds make love, war, and hysteria late one night in the cultural, sexual, and generational smorgasbord that is Manhattan. "Peter Ackerman's screwball bedroom comedy consists mainly of a sublimely ridiculous conference call involving three pairs of lovers. The questions about sex and the proper balance between intellectual and physical attraction have no answers, but Ackerman has some interesting suggestions, and, to his credit, comedy outweighs the theorizing." -The New Yorker "THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T SAY PAST MIDNIGHT: A COMEDY IN THREE BEDS is a contemporary sex farce you should see just as soon as you can - even though it's bound to be around for quite some time. This riotously funny work is Peter Ackerman's welcome debut as a playwright ... the hilarious dialogue just gets better and better, as the lines fly by like rapid-fire artillery." -David Kaufman, Daily News "Singles meets Three's Company in this boisterously naughty romp about three couples searching for love (and lust) in New York City. One pair's quarrel - sparked by bizarre, politically incorrect pillow talk - sets off a farcical chain of events that includes an offbeat May-December coupling, a speakerphone-aided group-therapy session, and lots of cheerful bonking." -C C, Entertainment Weekly
