Calling all adult babies, transvestites, fetishists…and anyone who’s ever watched a porno! The Absurdity of Vanilla is a high-octane joyride through the philosophy of the bedroom. Follow the hilarious journey of a gynaecologist who can't f*ck, and his talented pupil who can. Join them on their quest for self-discovery. Watch as they sample all the flavours on the nymphomaniac’s ice cream counter. Crossing paths with Mr Nuts Magazine and an ageing transgendered dominatrix, they hurtle towards a tragic sexual car crash, raising questions about the emotional consequences of hardcore hedonism.

With the nanny state firmly gripping us with her ever-tightening thighs of oppression, a kink-positive play comes not a moment too soon. In an era when Tescos flog furry handcuffs for a little light bondage, how do we square censorship with liberation? What would you order? A choc-chip sundae or a tedious vanilla scoop with a drooping wafer?
