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.
