Description The Talk is a terribly undomesticated evening. It's one account of what happens when you start talking about sex with your family: what 'the talk' is, and what it shouldn't be.

A hilarious live twist on the family dinner, audiences are invited to become the artist's family and re-enact real conversations about sex, sexuality and love. What follows is an awkward, intimate and explicit conversation laying bare the taboos of sex, relationships and family dynamics. The Talk is participatory theatre at its most tender, unapologetic and best. Bring your mum.
