The Sex Lives of Puppets is back in London following a wildly successful run earlier this year.

Puppet masters Blind Summit Theatre return to Southwark Playhouse Borough with The Sex Lives of Puppets, the show that pulls back the covers on puppet sex in contemporary Britain!

The show is a filthy, funny and shocking look at sex, in a collaboration between puppets and the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles.

A safe space to get down and dirty and talk about sex, The Sex Lives of Puppets is not so much the “birds and bees”, more the “nuts and bolts”!

The Sex Lives of Puppets is playing at Southwark Playhouse Borough from 4 to 28 September 2024.

In a series of two hander interview scenes in which a cast of puppet couples of all genders, races and ages, talk about their sex lives, the show uncovers puppet sex problems that are unquestioningly familiar. They consider subjects ranging from sexting, to dating apps, to online porn and sexual wellbeing, a tale of tangled sexual relationships unfolds to reveal a snapshot of sex (both human and puppet) in contemporary Britain.
