Review: Polyamory? In this economy? Every Little Nookie is a swinging sex comedy for inflationary times at the Stratford Festival
, now having its world premiere at the Stratford Festival, is a bit of a bait and switch.
Annabel , an artist who pays her bills delivering UberEats, is in a polyamorous relationship with Grace , a full-time social justice warrior and part-time mall Santa. Margaret, who’s hiding a tremor in her hand, is eager for a more active life while it’s available to her, but Kenneth is inhibiting all change by refusing to retire.
It’s no surprise, of course, that Margaret and Kenneth return unexpectedly while it’s under way – but that’s just the inciting incident. Drake is a playwright keen on accessibility in the old-fashioned sense – that is, eager to win over a broad audience with laughter. His comic default, for better or for worse, are dad jokes – some of which are openly described as such in the play – and his sex positivity is decidedly squeaky-clean.
