Sodomy and Pedicures: One Woman's Filthy Journey
Jessica Hedrick was raised by a Feminist and a Communist: her mother and father, respectively. From their heart-in-the-right-place teachings, she learned to disavow her femininity. Her hilarious one-woman show, Sodomy and Pedicures, is about her journey into reclaiming her womanhood, an epiphany brought on by a sexually-greek Italian man who wants to invade her secret places.
It's a fascinating and delightful tour of her psyche, and Hedrick is a powerful performer. There are a billion one-woman shows to wade through out there, and they're largely distinguished by the talents of the actress. We follow her through her transformation as she imitates those people who were a part of her life. An extended sequence where she channels her chain-smoking, wine-swigging, man-seducing friend Giselle is an especially hilarious section of the show.
I quite enjoyed the show and found myself wishing it wasn't over so soon.
