Producer Adam Roebuck has announced the return of F**king Men by multi-award-winning playwright Joe DiPietro. Following sell-out performances in 2023 and 2024, the production will return to Waterloo East Theatre for a strictly limited six-week run. Steven Kunis will direct a new cast, including Rob Alexander-Adams, Peter Caulfield, Benedict Clarke, and Sven Ironside.

Inspired by the classic play La Ronde, Tony Award-winning playwright Joe DiPietro reimagines the interwoven tales of sexual power, discovery, and exploration in the context of today’s gay scene.

This hit play opens on 26 March, with previews from 22 March, and will run until 4 May.

       

A modern retelling of Schnitzler’s infamous classic La Ronde, F**king Men is a fascinating, funny, and provocative story of sex, love, and connection. This dramatic comedy follows 10 men through a series of erotic encounters that change their lives in small but significant ways. In this raw and updated new version, Joe DiPietro takes a sharp and insightful look at the experiences of modern gay men as they navigate their conflicting desires for the comfort of monogamous love and the thrill of sexual freedom.

Joe DiPietro is an award-winning playwright, the recipient of two Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award, and three-time Outer Critics Circle Awards. DiPietro’s notable works include Memphis, which won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It (nominated for 10 Tony Awards), The Toxic Avenger (Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical), Ernest Shackleton Loves Me (Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Musical), and I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (the longest-running musical revue in Off-Broadway history). His musical Diana is currently streaming on Netflix and had a special concert performance in the West End.
