Water People Theater Company is proudly presenting the world premiere of ”Scenes of a Sexual Nature”, a stage adaptation of the British film with the same tittle, which was full of stars such as Ewan McGregor (Transpoiting), Tom Hardy (Inception), Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead), Eileen Atkins (Cold Mountain), Gina McKee (Notting Hill), Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Mark Strong (Zero Dark Thirty) Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) and Catherine Tate.

Scenes are interwoven stories of couples in Hampstead Heath Park in north London. Seven loosely related tales behave like a sexual encounter – moving forward and backward; connecting smoothly, painfully, and curiously; heating up then heating up more. Sex and love sometimes are the same and sometimes have nothing to do with each other. 

Scenes explores divorce, homosexuality, the longevity of love, children, infidelity, and prostitution … all in one afternoon. 

Scenes shares what makes these couples tick and in turn what makes us all tick.

Scenes is already in development for a more commercial run. The Water People Theater Company is thrilled to premiere this new work.

Scenes features Beatriz Castillo, Joe Dimuzio, Eddie Dunn, Natalie Frost, Olivia Gjurich, William D. McAndrews, Greg McGoon, Jason Linforth, Joan D Saunders and Amy Scanlon.

These rival cities are immeasurably fabulous. But they could both stand to make some changes, based on how the other operates. Here’s what London can do to make itself more like NYC—in a good way.

1. Restaurants should deliver food quickly
Order an early dinner from any London eatery, and you could still be gnawing your fists off at midnight. Each of the seven times you’ve called to track their progress, you’ve been told the driver is merely five minutes away. Of course, he’s not. Turns out he went via Scarborough, so now your chicken korma has hypothermia. In New York, where the people delivering your food rely on tips for wages, this almost never happens.

2. Larger measures and pubs that are open later
Once you’ve ordered a whiskey in New York (it will be BIG, whether or not you asked for it that way), there’s no going back to the thin, obscenely priced line of amber liquid you get in any London drinking establishment. Then, despite U.K. licensing laws easing up in recent years, most pubs will call last orders at 11:30 and you’ll have to search for somewhere open late. There’s absolutely no turfing punters out before their bedtime here in NYC where bars can legally stay open until 4 am.

Jack is a children’s author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by an irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a life-line by his long-suffering agent, and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in Jack’s script, what should be his ‘big break’ rapidly turns into his ‘big breakdown’ as Jack is forced to confront his worst fears; among them love, laundry and serial killers.
