About
the Play:
Sex Lives Of Superheroes is a one-act romantic comedy by
Stephen Gregg. A young man is struggling with the break up
from the "love of his life." When his life becomes too
stressful, he dives into his dream world where he lectures audiences
at Carnegie Hall on the sex lives of superheroes.
Sex Lives Of Superheroes follows
an unlikely love triangle in which one girl seeks to replace another
in a guy's pathetic real life and rich fantasy life. Michael is so
obsessed with his old girlfriend, Lisa, that he would do anything for
her. Even allow her weekly visits to his apartment in which she
strips, piece by piece, all of his possessions. Elenor, Michael's
date for the evening, is appalled to find that he copes with these
frustrations by giving fantasy lectures on the sexual habits of comic
book heroes. The two seem a complete mismatch until Michael discovers
that Elenor has her own obsession…
Sex Lives Of Superheroes was
originally produced
Off-Broadway in 1989 as part of the Manhattan Punch
Line's Fifth Annual Festival of One-Act
Comedies and
has been seen at many other regional, fringe, high
school, and college theatres.
Cast: 2 female, 1 male (alternate casting, 3 actors any gender)
What people say:

surprise gem of the [Manhattan Punch Line] festival is the work of
Stephen Gregg,
whose wistful comedy about the tenacity of neurosis, Sex
Lives of Superheroes,
contains the best extended metaphor since Virgil."

a boy looking for the perfect girl society thinks he needs and
finding that quirky girl he needs." Joanne Metchooyeah,
J.A. Williams High School
"This show was a fun and
witty addition to our one-act festival." Amanda Casale,
Roger Williams Theatre Dept
