Comedian says it was important to return to theatre to pump up her performance muscle

The production was first staged in 2016, packing houses at the National Arts Festival and subsequently at the Market Theatre. If you’re only encountering it now, you’re catching the performers in a better and different form. “Women’s sexuality is such a painful thing for a lot of women. It’s a site of embarrassment and so much repression. Usually when people talk about women’s sexuality, it’s always about sexual health and safety and hardly about the celebration and enjoyment of our sexuality. Our approach to this was that the comedy should be there to lighten the seriousness of the fact that a lot of women are not having fun in the bedroom like they should, because we think we’re not allowed to,” says Morake.
