For millennia, men have written about sex and their work has been called "great literature". But when women do it they're accused of only writing about what they know. All The Men Are Going To Hate Me follows one woman's attempt to write the great novel of the 21st century (about all the men she's slept with).
Part stand-up, part erotic poetry, part interpretive dance, this show is an odyssey through time and sex, exploring the line between experience and fiction. 'Big, bold, unapologetically clever' **** (LostInTheatreland.co.uk).
As soon as Maria Telnikoff bursts onto the Buttercup stage at Underbelly Bristo Square in a frenetic, gyrating dance to Charli xcx’s ‘Guess’, she totally commands the space with her charisma and physical comedy skills.
It’s an energetic start, and she maintains this electric energy throughout her 60-minute show All The Men Are Going To Hate Me.
After she’s got that dance out of her system, Telnikoff introduces us to the concept of the show: she wants to write the next great work of literature — about all the men she’s slept with.
It’s a simple but clever framework that allows her to break up and act out each of these stories as individual ‘chapters’, which she punctuates with a series of placards.
As she takes us through the journey of her sexual history, we’re introduced to characters such as “The Photographer”, “The Feminist”, and — worst of all — “The Poet”.
