From Joe DiPietro, the author of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change and Broadway’s hit musical Memphis, comes the Chicago premiere of F*cking Men. The play examines ten gay men from all walks of life as they negotiate the before and after of lust, love, betrayal and the pursuit of sex and emotional connectivity. Funny, poignant, sometimes dramatic, always provocative and sexy, the show has been a runaway success in London and L.A. where it has been playing consistently for two years.
F*cking Men has now made it to the Theatre Building where it has been getting great reviews from local critics. We worked with the Theatre Building distributing their promotional materials throughout the city for their latest production. F*cking Men closes this month, so be sure you don’t miss it.
F*cking Men is at the Theatre Building through July 25th. Please visit www.theatrebuildingchicago.org for more information.
