SEX OBJECT.

Burning House Company presented the U.S. premiere of Australian playwright Charlie Falkner’s comedy about how you perceive yourself and how you present yourself to the world — sibling relationships, sex-shop sponsorship, and what a Black Mirror episode might look like in real life. Kelly McCready produced with David De Almo, with Susanna Wolk directing.
