Reviews

“Park’s play starts off talking dirty, swells into an orgy, and bursts into a melee in what might best be described as a black comedy of unrestrained demands and unfulfilled dreams… Park’s script revels in the superficiality of his characters, playing along effectively with the surreal nature of their lives by jumping madly back and forth between one moment and version of reality to another. From opening your inner feelings to quoting from your latest movie, and from common gossip to speechifying, everything passes quickly and leads to the next non sequitur, as the pieces of who these kids really are underneath start to fall into place… Sex and Hunger is described as “an apocalyptic tale of unrestrained power,” and in performance it certainly lives up to that billing… This is one take on the desperation of the unfortunately rich that is worth a good look–provided you can swallow the sex, drugs, and violence that go along with Park’s penthouse view of unrestrained power at play.”
