A world where sex is less akin to love than to shopping - where life is merely a series of transactions, and everything and everyone, just another commodity.

Robbie, Lulu and Mark live together in a grungy London bed-sit. Robbie and Lulu used to be lovers, but Robbie is now in love with Mark, who leaves to have a sexual transaction with rent-boy Gary.

A play about a generation of no-hopers, whose paltry existence revolves around buying and selling sex and drugs, Shopping and F***ing questions where truth exists in societies obsessed with celebrity, spin, interest rates and whichever princess is available for the cover of the latest gossip magazine.

Shopping and F***ing premiered in London in 1996 and has since experienced international success.

NIDA Graduating production.
