In a series of episodic scenes, The Prudes captures the awkward, hormonal and contradictory nature of teenage relationships in a real and honest way, with the characters revealing their lusty desires and sexual anxieties through the "joy"’ of humanity’s favorite taboo. Based on a daisy-chain structure by playwright Arthur Schniztler, where interlocking couples go head-to-head, The Prudes is a play about navigating the murky waters of sexual intimacy as a young person.
