Unless you are a sexual senior or you’ve watched Cocoon a billion times, you may not be well-informed about the erotic lives of the elderly. If we were to give human sexual experience a scale from Girls Gone Wild–style to elder-Buddha-sex, rife with tiny balls and Caesarean scars, the proclivities of our senior society members might be more valued. It is an emotional and cultural landscape ripe for new voices and insights, and Sex Tapes for Seniors cracks it open, way beyond the work of Wilford Brimley. As you might expect from mature humans, the show addresses more than sex: The nuances of commitment, passion, and mortality come into play, from characters gay, straight, and widowed. At the heart of the story is a group of retirees creating how-to sex videos for seniors, much to the horror of their progeny and peers. Ideally we’re all going to get old, and ideally we’ll all want to screw. If you’d like a peek at the future onstage and bursting into song, Sex Tapes for Seniors helps you out.
