LUST is a 10 minute play written by Bess Wohl as a part of the immersive, off-broadway show Seven Deadly Sins NYC. In LUST, you see HER working another night in a club behind a storefront window in the meatpacking district while simultaneously hearing her thoughts (voiced by Cynthia Nixon) through headphones. The work starts as business-as-usual, consisting of an itemized grocery lists, back pain, and assessing the patrons at the club. All changes drastically when she sees HIM, a client of her past that assaulted her in the club. HER power and resilience is demonstrated in her athletic prowess and the act of continuing onward, despite her deep trauma and anguish and simultaneously entertaining her BLOODLUST for revenge. This work offers a beautiful collision of vulnerability and strength that will leave you deeply moved. This work and performance has been celebrated and reviewed by the New York Times, Variety, Theatermania, Vulture, the New York Post, and more. This show ran in NYC 6 nights/week, 9x a night for 1.5 months.
