Dunk City

by Stephen Brown

Davey is the only 18-year-old he knows with severe erectile dysfunction and he’s feeling really really insecure about it. Thank God his mother, sister, and grandma are all on the case to help him figure out this horrific affliction. Dunk City takes a look at masculinity, Italian-American families, and slam dunkin' that shit in Staten Island.

    Native Staten Islander approved!! Charming, hilarious, and full of heart. No one writes an all-up-in-your-business mom better.

    Dunk City is so funny and surprisingly sweet. It can also be scary if you're like me and afraid of families with no boundaries.

    Dunk City is a laugh-out-loud-riot filled with so much heart and love. All told from Stephen's singular voice and sense of humor. While these characters are unique and distinct, we also know them from our own lives. And Dunk City is a stealthy exploration of masculinity and the pressures put on young people to have sex - sometimes from their own families. I can't recommend this play enough. An incredibly funny play that has something to say about the world we live in.
