Presented by: tabHu Acting School Simon Stephens’ Pornography is a haunting mosaic of lives unravelling during the 2005 London bombings. Fragmented, lyrical, and unsettling, it captures ordinary people in extraordinary moments—desire, grief, isolation—woven into a city on edge. It’s not about sex, but exposure: of vulnerability, violence, and the raw pulse beneath urban life. Set against the backdrop of the 2005 London bombings, Pornography is a fragmented, poetic exploration of a city on edge. Told through seven loosely connected scenes, the play captures ordinary lives—siblings, strangers, lovers—grappling with isolation, desire, and disconnection. There’s no central plot, but a haunting emotional thread: the sense that something has ruptured beneath the surface of everyday life. Stephens doesn’t offer answers—only moments. A stolen kiss, a racist rant, a quiet breakdown. The title refers not to sex, but to exposure: the raw, unfiltered reality of a society stripped bare by fear, media saturation, and emotional numbness. “We live in pornographic times.” “Scorched by a need and an inability to connect.” “The suicide bombers were in no way monstrous, or evil, or alien. But rather… deeply human and deeply English.” “Pornography is a play that dramatises a world that seems to be more atomised and fractured than it has been in the past.” "We are not here to entertain. We are here to awaken. Theatre must be a mirror, a wound, and a balm." - Paulo Castro (Director) tabHu Ensemble has previously collaborated with Adelaide Festival, the Migration Museum, the Multicultural Communities Centre of SA, the Migrant Resource Centre, and a range of community-led initiatives across South Australia. This production marks a new chapter in their mission to make theatre that matters.
