Share Hi! My name is Lee-Anne Poole. I'm a playwright and arts producer.
Description
Lee-Anne Poole has tried to tell this story a few ways. Talk Sexxxy was a blog, then it was workshopped as a play, she's adapted it into poems, and fiction, and a screenplay - not putting the subject down for over 15 years, and also never really presenting the work. This play is the play and is also the making of the play.
Talk Sexxxy is a semi-autobiographical account of a phone sex operator, Kristie, who isn't leaving her apartment. Kristie is a new employee at a telephone line where customers play out their erotic fantasies for two dollars a minute. The phone sex operators blur the lines between reality and illusion for the callers, role-playing their every fantasy. When a company proclaims, "No Taboos, Hardcore Phone Sex!" the requested role-plays become more and more disturbing.
