Sex, Lies and Gaffer Tape is a theatre piece by Jason Potgieter and Kim Kerfoot.

The original text

From the Directors and Directing: Playwrights programme, 2012:

"Sex, Lies and Gaffer Tape is a meta-theatrical examination of the notion of textual ownership. And hula hoops. Who owns the text? The playwright, the janitor, the audience, the president, the funder or the funder’s mother? Irreverent, contradictory, and without accurate referencing, this 15 minute play will explore a number of the concerns of the symposium. Set simultaneously in a rehearsal and at Directors and Directing: Playwights, two writers, an actor, a director and an invisible stage manager engage with an audience to uncover the vast network of lies and deception underpinning the capitalist tenet that a text can or should be owned."
