Shopping and F***ing by Mark Ravenhill

4.0

This is a wonderful play that gets straight to the point. No metaphors or hidden subtext it just puts everything on the table. I would really like to see a production of this one day to fully understand the confrontational text and how it was rightfully part of the 'In your Face' theatre movement in the UK in the 90's. The play clearly comments on how consumerism has become part of our societal value system and how that it is integrated into our everyday lives. It is shocking and explicit and humorous, ticking all the boxes of a good play.
