Billy Magnussen and Anna Gunn (photo: Joan Marcus)First produced by Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre in 2011, Laura Eason's long overdue romantic comedy has arrived at the Second Stage Theatre. This ultra contemporary two-character study in sex and success is smart and savvy. Although there are a preponderance of provocative, graphically-depicted scenes of intimacy that might make some feel like voyeurs, this play is otherwise not so far removed from the dozens of titillating, insinuating, and playfully romantic comedies that filled Broadway houses during the mid 20th century. As it is all about sex, seduction, deception and role-playing in the burgeoning age of the Internet, iphone, and ipad I suspect it will probably be seen just as dated to the next generation as the afore-mentioned comedies. And that's fine. To read my entire review please go to http://curtainup.com/sexwithstrangers14.html
