PURIM BACCHANAL RISING on the Dr. Susan Block Show, 2/23

By:

This Saturday, February 23rd, The Dr. Susan Block Institute will hold its fifth biannual Purim Bacchanal, PURIM BACCHANAL Rising, featuring the world renowned Commedia Erotica Players performing an improvisational erotic Purimspiel of the Biblical Story of Esther, the ancient Persian Jewish beauty contest winner who saves her people from genocide with her Weapons of Mass Seduction. "In a time when power was almost always gained through brute force and merciless violence-a time much like our own-this was, and still is, a human miracle," says Dr. Block. It is also a sex-positive, feminist, domestic drama of the royal court, which begins with the feast of a king and the disobedience of a queen, and climaxes with the obedience of a king and the feast of a queen.

Porn stars, poets, models and comics will improvise the Biblical roles as Dr. Susan Block, a former Sunday school teacher turned sexologist, narrates her acclaimed comic-erotic version of the Megillat Esther in the Womb Room, to be transformed by DrSuzy.tv producer Tasia Sutor
into the mythical magical village of Shushan, the king's court, the harem, and the "gallows" (non-lethally represented by a St. Andrew's bondage cross), before a live studio audience, at Dr. Suzy's Speakeasy (aka Bonoboville) in the Soul of Downtown LA.

Dr. Suzy's PURIM BACCHANAL Rising will air live February 23rd, 2013, 10:30pm-Midnight PST on The Dr. Susan Block Show on DrSuzy.tv. Listen FREE at http://tinyurl.com/RadioSex. Call-In Free: 1.866.289.7068.
