Story for Sex, Grift and Death
SEX, GRIFT AND DEATH features the New York premiere of Steven Berkoff’s LUNCH, directed by Richard Romagnoli, and Caryl Churchill’s HOT FUDGE and the New York premiere of Churchill’s HERE WE GO, both directed by Cheryl Faraone. Previews begin July 6 for a July 13 opening, running through July 30.
In LUNCH, a woman and man, (ostensibly) strangers, engage in a provocative encounter that forces them to recognize their loneliness. Sexy, rude and funny.
HOT FUDGE is an explosive short play about greed and self-invention - a bleak, black comedy.
HERE WE GO is written in three brief scenes. The play drifts from conversations among mourners at a post-funeral party to the dying process of (possibly) the man mourned and finally a wordless sequence with a man and his caregiver.
COVID PROTOCOL: Audience members are required to have proof of full Covid-19 vaccination and wear a mask to be admitted into the venue.

Critics’ Reviews for Sex, Grift and Death
"Suffice it to say that the characters in this brief, explosive work are on the gravy train…. rich in bracing theatrical bile."
Frank Rich,
The New York Times
"But what Churchill has written is a striking memento mori for an age without faith; and although her play is brief, that in itself evokes the idea that we are here for a short time and then are suddenly gone."
Michael Billington,
The Guardian
"For 35 years, PTP and PTP/NYC has maintained an ever-evolving community of theater-makers of all kinds, who are connected by their sheer will to make mission-driven, provocative productions of plays we care about deeply. It is cause for celebration!"
Jim Petosa,
PTP/NYC
