Sex Cells by Anna Longaretti
Friday 3rd October 2025 - Saturday 4th October 2025
John Port Spencer Academy - Chatsworth Hall, Derby, DE65 6LU
Sex Cells is a poignant play about motherhood, friendship, love and loss.
In a busy call centre, the four female employees of Aphrodite, a sex toy manufacturer, take telephone orders. Beneath the cheerful customer service and easy banter, however, these very different women nurse their own desires and disappointments.
Sylvie is desperate to have a baby, but her single minded approach is taking its toll on her marriage and causing friction with the her co-workers. With five children, Janice rarely finds time for herself or her husband. Tiffany is young and single, looking for ‘the one’, but wary of sacrificing her independence. Star employee Lily, meanwhile, is stuck in a loveless marriage and estranged from her son, but buries her pain in wisecracks and work. Ms Causeway is the kind of manager whose presence hushes a room without a word, but beneath her composed exterior lies a lifetime of restraint: a difficult relationship with her mother, and a truth about herself that’s never been spoken aloud, not even to herself.
Content warning: Sex Cells contains mentions of miscarriage, abortion, and themes of an adult nature.
This amateur production of “Sex Cells” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
