Punts

by Sarah Page

'You want me to have full penetrative sex with your son, right? I just wanted to, you know, check.'

Jack, a young man with a learning disability, lives at home, cared for by his devoted parents. Like most men in their twenties, he has needs – his mates at the rugby club talk about nothing but getting laid, whilst Jack's most erotic experience to date is the time he was winked at by the pretty cashier in Lloyds. Desperate for their son to not feel left out, his parents decide to bring in a professional. But the woman they hire has a far more profound impact on the whole family than they could ever have imagined.

Written by up-and-coming writer Sarah Page, this text has been published to coincide with Kuleshov Theatre's 2017 production at Theatre503.

[Doug · Rating 4 out of 5]

Despite some fairly abrupt and seemingly unmotivated transitional moments, this is a very stage worthy four-hander, that never gets too maudlin or sappy - and has surprising moments of genuine humour.

Interesting dynamic between a family with an adult autistic son and a sexworker Julia they hired to pop their son's cherry. And the fallout that nobody had expected.
