The ground-breaking debut from one of our most important playwrights
Shopping and Fucking is ...
Falling in love with your best friend - if you can get the right mix of Es and whizz...
Passion buried beneath layers of bubble and wrap and cellophane
A world where microwaves are the only source of heat
A place where Shopping is sexy and Fucking is a job
And if you killed someone what would it feel like?
Or maybe there are no feelings left ...
Shopping and Fucking is a witty and shocking look at a corrosive disposable world whose values have been determined by a disinherited generation
As its title suggests, this "blackly humourous play for today's twenty-somethings" is provocative, graphic and explicit

"Ravenhill has more to say, and says it more refreshingly and wittily, than any other playwright of his generation" ~ Time Out
What makes this play so dangerous to closed minds is its unnerving knack of opening our eyes to the horrors of our daily lives" ~ Sunday Express
"Plunges you into the world of disposability, disconnection and dysfunction, where relationships to be trusted have to be reduced to transactions ... strong stuff" ~ Paul Taylor, Independent
