Sex in the '80s

Old history. New rules.

They haven’t seen each other since the 1980s. Now two accomplished architects are reunited in a glass-walled Toronto office tower on the eve of a high-stakes competition. Both intend to keep things strictly professional. That proves harder than expected.

As a long-buried chapter of their shared history resurfaces, a polite reunion turns into a pointed, funny sparring match about memory, ambition, and how much the rules have changed. Meanwhile, their twentysomething colleagues look on—and aren’t shy about weighing in.

Smart, topical, and wickedly witty, Sex in the ’80s is a workplace comedy about generational change and the risky business of revisiting the past.

The writing of Sex in the '80s was supported by the Ontario Creators Reserve Fund.
