Bedfringe 2021 Interview: The Geneva Convention of Human F**Ks

Posted in Bedfringe 2022 by

“I guess we have been too busy to actually realise what we have learnt from this year just yet.”

WHO: Charlie Whitworth: Writer and Director

WHAT: “The Geneva Convention of Human F**ks tells the story of three men as they go on their latest sex tour of Europe. Set just before COVID hits, we follow Michael, Liam and Peter as they describe the various brothels, prostitutes and more obscure sexual offerings that they encounter. In this time they tackle their ethics around various issues such as prostitution, #metoo, sex trafficking and even global warming.

Performed entirely by women performers, the show is a sometimes funny, sometimes groan-inducing exploration of toxic masculinity, sex tourism and the friendship between three men.
Written and Directed by company co-founder Charlie Whitworth, this shows launches Yet To Be with its mission to create original, punchy and entertaining work for audiences.”

WHERE: Quarry Theatre

Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

This is my first time coming to Bedfringe but it is not the first time for Yet To Be’s co-founder Marina O’Shea. She has brought work here a few times and she is super excited about bringing our show “Geneva” to Bedfringe as she has had such great experiences at the festival in the past. As for me – I’m a complete newbie to the festival!

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2021 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

Well, Yet To Be have been on Exeter Northcott Theatre’s “Futures” programme this year which is an artist development programme. Marina and I are I guess what you would call “mid-career” but Yet To Be as a company is a baby and we want to make sure we get it right. We’ve been busy developing a new show for the Northcott called “Free Will & Other Myths” whilst we’ve been putting the finishing touches on the show we are taking to Bedfringe, Geneva… So I guess we have been too busy to actually realise what we have learnt from this year just yet.

Tell us about your show.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

Well, I’m pretty sure these two shows are actually on BEFORE us but we reckon people should check out the two show by Ricochet Theatre on at Bedfringe called The Same Rain That Falls on Me & Intricate Rituals. Ricochet are lovely and we think you’d be fools to miss their shows.
