Sexy Laundry

A Comedy of Unmentionable Hilarity

August 12 to August 30

Written by Michele Riml 

Check in for a weekend of laughs with this lighthearted, racy comedy. 

After 25 years of marriage, time, kids, stress – and gravity – have all taken their toll on Alice and Henry’s relationship. Worried about their future, Alice decides to take charge of the situation by arming herself with a copy of Sex for Dummies and booking a swanky hotel room for a romantic getaway … all in the hope of rekindling some much-needed passion. 

With a reluctant Henry in tow, will Alice manage to jumpstart their stale love life with leather and lace … or will the gloves come off before their clothes do? Find out in this contemporary Canadian comedy. 

Recommended for ages 13 and up. 

Running Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes, including 20-minute intermission.

 Two performers sit on the edge of a bed as one enthusiastically reads aloud from a brightly coloured book titled Sex for Dummies. The other sits stiffly beside them with a deeply unimpressed expression, creating a humorous contrast.

 A performer sits barefoot on a stool in a lavender robe and floral pyjama pants, stretching both arms dramatically overhead while making an animated facial expression. A modern bedroom interior with wood panelling, abstract artwork, and a small console table fills the background.

 Two blindfolded performers cautiously make their way across the bedroom set with their arms stretched out in front of them. One bends low while reaching forward, while the other stands behind with a piece of fabric tied dramatically around their head and eyes.

 On a bedroom set washed in deep blue nighttime lighting, one performer stands centre stage in a dark robe and plaid pyjama pants with an expressive smile, while another lies asleep in the bed at the side of the stage. Chairs, a small table, and a bar area complete the stylish hotel-room setting.

 Two performers stand side by side on a bedroom set in sleepwear, reacting with startled expressions. One reaches a hand forward while wearing a dark robe and plaid pyjama pants, while the other stands barefoot in a lavender robe and floral pyjama pants.

 Under dramatic blue lighting, two performers stand on the bed in a tense moment. One wears a white bathrobe with a towel wrapped around their head, while the other stands beside them in a blue shirt and beige pants with hands clasped together.

 Two performers sit closely together on the edge of a bed, smiling broadly during a lighthearted moment. Both are dressed in sleepwear, with the bedroom’s geometric gold-trimmed wall panels and matching bedside tables visible behind them.
