Roger and Sherry have been
married 20 years, and life has grown stale, and sex a bore, and when they are
invited to a party they discover to their horror it’s a Swingers Bash, but a
few drinks later, and after a number of hilarious views of the guests in action,
they get into the swing of things. Then, to their surprise, the Morning After
turns out to be the start of a second honeymoon! Yes, “Is There Sex After Marriage?” is definitely an Adult Comedy, but I
can assure you its perceptions about human behavior are affirmative and definitely
funny!
Jaret Sacrey as Roger and Gillian
Brashear as Sherry merrily make the journey from marital coldness to carnal heat
to connubial warmth.
In multiple roles, Brad Lee Wind is delightful as docile neighbor
Joe and affable stud Hank; Juliet Lemar runs the gamut from sensual Beth to bawdy
Tammy to mousy Penny; Joel Berti is fun as earnest romantic Zack then lothario Bob;
Melinda Hughes shines as discontented Mindy and seductive party animal Karen.
This world premiere romp
is wittily written and daringly directed by Jeff Gould with delightfully
appropriate songs (e.g. “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction")
during the breaks.
The simple Los Angeles sets by
Allison Schenker are well lit by Steve Pope, with excellent costume choices by
Jen Bendik. Produced by Mike Abramson for
Home Run Productions. Photos by Silvia Spross.
