In the opening scene, two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly sadistic suburban wives decorating a living room. Once they've decided on the color scheme of the races, a little concerned that white people will feel slighted being such a boring color, they create sex and the sexes. Afraid women will have too many advantages, the Beings decide to make childbirth painful and to give men enormous egos as compensation.The audience is whisked through the outrageous sketches where a dozen, or so, actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life. This is a humurous show that pokes fun at women and is also thought provoking. It looks at the human condition from a feminist perspective, It deals with gender issues and women's choices, but this is a man-friendly show. With boundless humor, PARALLEL LIVES reexamines the ongoing quest to find parity and love in a contest handicapped by capricious gods-or in this case, goddesses.
