Synopsis:

A shocking yet tasteful exposé of the facts of life, from the fictional 'National Theatre of Brent'.

Having boldly tackled the Charles and Diana story in Love Upon the Throne, having presented nothing less than the birth of Christ on stage in The Messiah, Desmond Dingle and the entire ensemble of the National Theatre of Brent - Raymond Box - at the personal behest of Sir Trevor Nunn of the National Theatre, now fearlessly expose us to the wonder of sex.

Patrick Barlow's comedy The Wonder of Sex was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 2001.
