'Like bawdy Shakespeare meets wild Wycherley filtered through the
formalised camp of John Osborne's A Patriot for Me...how wonderful to
see the rabid raw talent of Ravenhhill given the full works' Michael
Coveney, Daily Mail 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'. Meanwhile in 2001 a group of wealthy gay
men are preparing for a raunchy party.Mother Clap's Molly House, a
black comedy with songs is a celebration of the diversity of human
sexualtiy, an exploration of our need to form families and a
fascinatig insight into a hidden chapter in London's
history.'Ravenhill's writing is tough, eloquent, sardonic, with some
of the barbed formality of the Resotration style, which gets brutally
peeled off in the present-day scenes. This is not a play you "enjoy".
This is not a gay play either...The message of this play is not "Come
out", but "Come in".' John Peter, Sunday Times.'Mark Ravenhill clearly
likes to have it both ways. In this wonderfuly exuberant new musical
play, he celebrates Sodom like there's no Gomorrah... Delicate souls
may be offended but there is no doubting the sincerity of Ravenhill's
assault on the tranformation of sex into a dirty business.' Michael
Billington, Guardian'A theatrical manifesto for sexual tolerance that
teeters wildly between the politics of Bertolt Brecht and the
in-your-face deviancy of a gay nightclub... Ravenhill combines graphic
sex with a generosity of spirit' Charles Spencer, Daily
TelegraphMother Clap's Molly House premiered at the Royal National
Theatre, London in October 2001.
