About the Show

Manhattan Theatre Club presents a new solo show from Tony winner Sarah Jones, inspired by the real-life experiences of people affected by the commercial sex industry.

Set in the not-too-distant future and presented as a historical lecture, 'Sell/Buy/Date' explores the sexual exploitation of women in our current age. Through her multicultural characterizations, Jones offers an array of diverse perspectives on a fascinating and incendiary subject, all while preserving the full humanity and humor of voices seldom heard in the theater.

Don't see it if you do not like one woman shows and pefer traditionally told stories rather than vignettes of different characters.

Clever, Great acting, Absorbing, Intelligent

See it if you like one-man shows. Sarah Jones can do accents better than Meryl Streep.

Don't see it if if you need the show's content to be at least as good as the acting. The sex-worker theme was interesting, but not riveting. Read more

Interesting concept, socially relevant topic, brilliantly performed; but a touch too long.

See it if you like to watch a single performer transform seamlessly in seconds. you are interested in the complex issue of sex for sale

Don't see it if you dont like political/social commentary. you dont like solo shows Read more

Creative, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if U enjoy a powerful one woman show who very adeptly and convincingly portrays many characters discussing 2020 sex from time way in the future

Don't see it if U prefer seeing different people playing different roles, don’t want to think about our current views on sex/sex trafficking/prostitution.
