“Context is everything.”

Eileen and Rudy haven’t seen each other since the 1980s, but now the high-profile architects are reunited in a glass-walled Toronto office tower on the eve of a high-stakes competition. Straining to keep things professional, they can’t seem to shake thorny questions from their shared sexual past—questions about consent, culpability, and brutalism. Before long, they spiral into a sparring match over what really happened, who should have known better, and who is truly to blame. All under the watchful eyes of their plucky twentysomething assistants who are navigating a sexy investigation of their own.

A salacious and whip-smart new comedy, Kate Hennig’s Sex in the ’80s playfully examines how time, context, and memory shape our perceptions of sexual ethics and past wrongdoings. Sparking a necessary exchange between generations, this witty workplace romp weighs in on how things change and how things stay the same.
