Is there such a thing as overage sex?

Close Up is a new multi-media production about censorship in the post-truth era. This hilarious and poignant comedy tells the story of Clive, 1960s Polari comedian, and eighty-year-old Grace, in art Gigi, overnight internet sensation and protagonist of a factual documentary about sex.

In 1968 the Theatre Acts abolished censorship of the theatre paving the way for freedom of speech across all media. Half a century later we are allowed to show and witness the unimaginable. But are we really free to assert our individuality? And if it isn’t government law, what are the systems regulating speech in the post-truth era?
