Dirty Books

Dirty Books is an immersive performance that plunges audiences into the heated battles over anti-obscenity laws and censorship in mid-century America. Inspired by the true stories of erotic fiction writers of the 1960’s, Dirty Books reveals the ingenuity and resilience of artists who thrived in the shadows of America's anti-obscenity laws working in the soft-core adult publishing industry. Inside an intimate world of secret bookstores, banned novels, and underground desire, the audience collaborates with the company to compose an erotic story.

Performances take place at Bated Breath Theatre, 39 W. 14th Street (between 5th and 6th Ave.), Suite #301, New York, New York. 10011
