Porn Play review – Ambika Mod excels as an academic undone by pornography addiction

Sophia Chetin-Leuner's 'Porn Play' at the Royal Court Theatre delves into the complexities of addiction, particularly pornography, as experienced by Ani, a 30-year-old academic. This theme resonates with Tanya-Loretta Dee's unsettling monologue in 'Loop', where a young woman's infatuation spirals into darker territories. Both plays highlight the impact of personal obsessions on relationships, reflecting a broader cultural discourse on the consequences of digital consumption. Similarly, Hasan Al-Habib's comedy at Soho Theatre touches on identity and belonging, suggesting that personal struggles often intersect with societal narratives, creating a rich tapestry of contemporary experiences in London.
