The Last King of Porn

  • Burdall's Yard Anglo Terrace Bath, England, BA1 5NH United Kingdom (map)

As part of Bath Fringe Festival, award-winning playwright Alessandro Onorato asks ‘What are you willing to do to become a legend?’

A porn actor performing his last record-breaking movie: a sex marathon with 100 women. The story is set in the waiting room where the actresses are waiting to perform, we find that the film they are shooting is actually a “snuff”: the actor decided to kill himself during the performance. The atmosphere shifts quickly from being sexy to an electrifying and thrilling situation. The women on stage are waiting for their turn with persistent anxiety that leads to tight dialogue. At the beginning they are just numbers, but with the progress of the drama they confront their lives discussing sex, love and family and, in reality, they will realize that they show themselves for who they are not. Thus, the actors of this show will bring out an obsessively hidden morality: a wrong choice can change an entire life, since only a single instant destroys the lives of all of them.
