Product Description

Product Description
Shopping and F***ing is Falling in love with your best friend - if you can get the right mix of Es and whizz Passion buried beneath layers of bubble and wrap and cellophane A world where microwaves are the only source of heat A place where Shopping is sexy and F***ing is a job And if you killed someone what would it feel like? Or maybe there are no feelings left Shopping and F***ing is a witty and shocking look at a corrosive disposable world whose values have been determined by a disinherited generation.SHOPPING AND FUCKING: "is a darkly humorous play for today's twenty-somethings a real coup de theatre" - Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard

5.0 out of 5 stars Still holds its head up high., 11 May 2001
Yes, it's naughty words in the title. But there is a hell of a lot more to Ravenhill's masterpiece than bad language. It is exceptionally well written, and considered to be one of the most influencial pieces of contemporary British theatre.

Yes it's quite shocking, certainly graphic, but it also raises several important questions of modern society. For example can we justify anything in this world, no matter how unpleasant, if we call it a transaction?

You should most definitely SEE this play. But if you can't then you must read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply the most important play of the 90's, 15 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This play's tremendous influence on all contemporary British playwrights as well as its astonishing commercial success make this the most important play of the 1990's.

Hilariously funny, viscerally shocking and profoundly moving - it will be being argued over for many, many years to come.

Any serious student of theatre should know it back to front.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shopping and...., 7 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Unlike the playwright I can get by without drawing attention to myself with rude words or trying to be vague to extreme and calling it symbolistic or "new theatre." This play is shocking for the sake of being shocking and one has to wonder if a play needs to be shocking to get your interest whether the actually writing is good enought to warrant your interest. Looking for decent writing in this genre, check out Sarah Kane.

3.0 out of 5 stars a highlight of the nineties
Shopping and Fucking are the two extreme points of a wicked society. No values, no life. If you live in a market economy, it is the only aim you have in your life. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Shopping & Fucking, a brief critique
I saw this play at the Edinburugh Festival. On the whole I think the audience either were offended or enjoyed the production.

I would count myself in neither category. Read more
