THE SHOW'S ADULT CONTENT AND PROFANITY IS TREATED RESPECTFULLY AND ALWAYS PRESENTED WITH AUTHENTICITY. THE ONLY CHANGES IN THE CONTENT FROM PREVIOUS PRODUCTIONS I'VE SEEN INCLUDE THE USE OF AN OPAQUE SCREEN DURING A SEX SCENE, SO THE INTIMACY BETWEEN TWO CHARACTERS IS DEPICTED AS SHADOWS, AND THE OMISSION OF A MOMENT OF BRIEF NUDITY–CHANGES THAT DO NOT DIMINISH THE IMPACT OF THESE MOMENTS AIDED BY THE CONTRIBUTION OF INTIMACY DIRECTOR MATT DENNEY. THE DIRECTION ACHIEVES RAW AND EMOTIONALLY INTENSE PERFORMANCES FROM THE CAST.

He is a good actor. Amazingly so, for someone his age. He has the wisdom to know so many things, and I know he will have so many performances.

Taming of the Review | for Mary’s Wedding
“I was impressed by their tender scenes of physical intimacy. I was heartened to know that an Intimacy Director, Matt Denney, was used to help them have a safe space to create these scenes. I applaud Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre for being sensitive to the issues that intimate interactions can create for actors.”
