THE PLAY ABOUT A DICK
by Aaron Wilton
The Play About a Dick is a razor-sharp dark comedy about vulnerability, perception and the lies we tell ourselves. When Enid meets a younger man online for sex, their awkward exchange spirals into a brutally funny and unexpectedly profound exploration of identity, self-worth, and human connection. With biting dialogue, unpredictable twists, and a fearless approach to modern relationships, this one-act play is both hilarious and unsettling. A bold, provocative theatrical experience, The Play About a Dick will leave audiences laughing, cringing, and questioning the absurdity of post-truth existence. The Play About a Dick was selected for Capital Stage Company’s Playwrights’ Revolution New Works Festival, a finalist for Bottle Alley Theatre’s Script Competition and won honorable mention for the Panndora’s Box Festival of New Works.
