One of the ways Like Sex draws inspiration from Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde, is the use of stereotypes to explore characters throughout the play. In Like Sex these stereotypes are drawn from modern teenage life, and the common representations of young adults we see in film and television.
Theses stereotypes include ‘The Slut’, ‘The Bogun’, ‘The Mean Girl’, ‘The Jock’, ‘The Nice Girl’, ‘The Lesbian’, and ‘The Geek’.

We asked the cast to share their own personal insights into the themes and questions of Like Sex. Check out their answers below. ​
