About Hot ‘N' Throbbing

Take Charlene, a suburban mother who writes erotic screenplays for women in order to support herchildren; add Clyde, her funny, dangerously obsessive and estranged husband; toss in hormonallyovercharged teenagers; and layer it all with a screenplay on a deadline that Charlene desperately tries towrite-and you end up with HOT 'N' THROBBING, a gripping new play written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of How I Learned To Drive.

"HOT 'N' THROBBING is a theatrical 911 call that no serious theatergoer can afford to ignore." -Baltimore Sun."Screamingly funny, at the same time painful and poignant, [HOT 'N' THROBBING] boldly asks thequestion: Which is more obscene, pornography or domestic violence?" -Molly Smith, Arena Stage Hot ‘N' Throbbing is made possible through generous support from the Lozier Foundationand Whitmore Charitable Trust.
