‘Thank you for trusting us with your pleasure!’
The Dancing Bears strip club is failing. Meanwhile, the new club down the street is welcoming fifty women a night with their twelve-inch synchronised dicks. When the boss’s daughter shows up, she realises they’re gonna need a bigger show.
Steamy and boisterous, Dave Harris’s play Tender is a story about breaking free from masculinity’s seductive cage. It was first produced by Soho Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Matthew Xia.
‘Maybe Harris’ truths are too disturbing to accept with immediate grace. Maybe we’re all just trying to understand how the theatrical worlds we’ve been living in have transformed – or rather how Harris transforms the world we live in every day. Engaging with a Dave Harris play isn’t easy: It can be simultaneously pleasurable, painful, hilarious, and terrifying.’ DC Theater Arts
