The Empty Nest

Lakeside Theatre (University of Essex)

Synopsis

“Welcome to the Abel Institute. Where life is licensed.” What would you do for sex in a society that punishes pleasure? At The Abel Institute reproduction is licensed and emotions are banned. When Jake and Evie are hired to demonstrate this licensed act, the last thing they expect to feel is… pleasure. But under the watchful eye of the institute, they struggle to separate morality from instinct, love from lust, and professionalism from pure, carnal want. Will they submit to the strict morality of the institute or dare to feel pleasure in a society that forbids it?
