FreePlay is a growing feminist sex toy company, popular in part to its deconstructed take on the modern dildo, whose founders pride themselves on their non-phallo-centric aesthetic.

FreePlay is a growing feminist sex toy company, popular in part to its deconstructed take on the modern dildo, whose founders pride themselves on their non-phallo-centric aesthetic. Run by best friends since college, engineer Amy and sculptor Sara, the Brooklyn-based business is intimate and casual, their office shared by aspiring artist (and ulcerative colitis activist) Travis, and their devoted intern, Emma. As Amy starts IVF and Sara begins fantasizing about Travis, the equilibrium the pair had thought they reached begins to crumble. What ensues is a story about engineering, the painful intimacy of female friendships, dildos, and the people who make them.

    The fact is 'sex sells' and "FreePlay" is show that could prove that true! Justice Hehir takes four fabulous character, sprinkles them with brilliantly witty and thought provoking dialogue and places them smack in the middle of the sex industry. Its a perfect cocktail that creates a wonderfully funny piece. Produce this play and you won't be disappointed! The sales from merchandise of "ask me about orgasms" shirts would make this play a hit on thier own. Couple that with the brilliant writing and you can't go wrong.

    I adore this play. FreePlay is painstakingly patient in its use of language and the way its plot unfolds, and it works so well because Hehir has given us four believable and idiosyncratic characters to fall in love with. The play also manages to find ways of speaking directly to contemporary issues without ever feeling forced or didactic. It also does something notable: it lets dildos be hilarious, while still taking them seriously and letting them be empowering objects. Funny as fuh and heartbreaking too, FreePlay is a quiet, endearing gem.
