Ireland's award-winning Rough Magic Theatre Company present this modern comedy of sexual policy and emotional manners at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Dublin Theatre Festival. When Daniel walks up to shop assistant Cathy and tells her he wants to buy a bra - for himself - it's their first step in a passionate affair. Meanwhile, their respective partners, Kay and Paul, are having sex together during lunch. But if everyone is getting what they want, why is no-one happy? Kay's friend Angela thinks she has all the answers - but does she? Is this about Sex? is a modern relationship comedy about the serious matter of sex and what it means to be a man or a woman in a world that's just not as simple as it used to be
