The English Literature Play In brief Production - Mother Clap's Molly House by Mark Ravenhill Director - Conor O'Cuinn Venue - Bedlam Theatre Date - 13 to 16 March 2024 at 7:30pm Price - £9 (standard ticket) / £6/7 (concession tickets) Book your ticket on Bedlam's website About the play Image It’s London 1726, and Mrs. Tull’s got problems. The whores are giving her a hard time, a man in a dress is looking for a job, her husband has a roving eye and the apprentice boy keeps disappearing for ‘a wander’. The play skips between the 18th century and 2001, where a group of wealthy gay men are preparing the drugs and video cameras for a sex party. The play is both an affectionate examination of the vitality and liberation of the molly house’s counterculture, and a regretful comment on the commodification of sex and love. Mother Clap’s Molly House, a black comedy with songs, is a celebration of the diversity of human sexuality, an exploration of our need to form families and a fascinating insight into a hidden chapter in London’s history. For the English Literature Play 2024, Mother Clap’s Molly House is being staged by a team led by fourth year English Literature student Conor O'Cuinn.
