Hole in the Wall Theater kicks off its new season with "Love Loves a Pornographer", written by Jeff Goode and directed by Rayah Martin.

Love Loves a Pornographer is a faux British Victorian farce that is a deeply silly and enjoyable period satire on sexual hypocrisy. Jeff Goode has set the play in an English drawing room, belonging to novelist Lord Loveworthy and his wife, Lady Lillian. Their guests are the Rev. Miles Monger, who works as a literary critic, and his wife, Millicent. While the couples await the arrival of the Loveworthys' daughter Emily and her new fiancé, Lord Loveworthy informs Monger of secrets that will prompt Monger to pay for Emily's wedding and give Loveworthy's latest book a rave review. The plot is simple, with some well-placed twists that keep it surprising. However, it serves mostly as a backdrop for Goode's clever dialogue and ingenious wordplay, perfectly suited to this comic tale of blackmail, adultery and cucumber sandwiches.
