WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Theatre companies across America are joining in the world premiere of
Laura's Bush, an apocalyptic lesbian sex farce by America's most undercover playwright, Jane Martin.
Like last year's Lysistrata Project, which encouraged theatre companies
across the world to stage the Greek anti-war play in response to the pending
war in Iraq, Laura's Bush comes to us just in time for the presidential
elections. Along with the New York premiere, it will be seen in Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Ann Arbor Seattle, Atlanta, and Detroit.
The play follows an absurdly prudish librarian as she enlists the help
of a small town dominatrix to break Laura Bush out of the White House.
Sexual and political hi-jinx ensue as they uncover a plot so evil and
over-the-top that it just might be true. While Fahrenheit 911 raised
eyebrows, this raunchy satire may raise other parts of the anatomy as well.

All across the country, audiences are seeing Laura's Bush. Playwright Jane Martin has made her play available royalty-free to small theater companies, and it is being performed in Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, and other cities in advance of the November election. Vital Theatre Company, in association with Live Theater, is offering the New York premiere, directed by Jack Daniel Stanley. Unfortunately, while the title of this political comedy is eye-catching, and some of the writing is mildly amusing, the production as a whole falls flat.
In the play, Dody Dotson (Hilda Guttormsen), a librarian, believes that First Lady Laura Bush (Laura LeBleu) has been blinkin[...]
