Genital theatre reaches all-time low
Balls Falls, ON � First we had the Vagina Monologues in which famous and near-famous females sat on a stage and talked about all things feminine. Then Puppetry of the Penis reared its ugly head as two Australian blokes entertained audiences by manipulating themselves to portray Nessie, the Loch Ness monster, pelicans, any boa constrictor from a Tarzan movies and, their pi�ce de r�sistance, the Eiffel Tower.
Now, not to be outdone by their male thespians, a daring troupe of women has banded together to, supposedly, entertain us with Puppetry of the Vagina!!
�Ah, give me a chance to explain. We have a very small budget and very little resources but we think we have something to offer the theatre-going crowd,� said L. Majora, the show�s creator. �We�re going to bury those penis performers!�
Indeed what seems to be a very limited apparatus is used to this viewer�s amazement. A first glance, the Leave it to Beaver montage was obscure and somewhat fuzzy but the Muffy the Vampire Slayer portrayal was breath-takingly funny.
Reading like a menu from a fine seafood restaurant, the intrepid performers proceed to delight the audience with a tableau of the clams from The Little Mermaid, a sidesplitting interpretation of Charlie the Tuna and a tongue-in-cheek tribute to native people called The Mohawk.
Majora closed by saying, �We hope to bring in some political satire with a mime of George Bush Sr.�s �Read my lips� speech and our tribute to the fall of the Berlin Wall called �The Iron (Meat) Curtains�.
The show runs, not surprisingly, three weeks a month at the Skinny Dipper Dinner Theatre on Highway 69. |
