On November 4, Profile Theatre will release the second audio play in their 2020-2021 season. Paula Vogels Hot N Throbbing is the story of a single mom who writes feminist erotic films. As she balances the demands of her family with the creative process, the language of p*rn awkwardly (and sometimes hilariously) commingles with parenting. The real obscenity emerges when her estranged husband arrives on the scene.Twenty-seven years after Paula Vogel started workshopping Hot N Throbbing (which originally had the subtitle Because Obscenity Begins at Home) the play is timely. During the pandemic cases of domestic violence have skyrocketed across the world (New England Journal of Medicine, September 16, 2020). Hot N Throbbing raises pressing questions: What does it mean to create women-centered erotica in which women appear as the subjects and not the objects? What is obscenity in a culture where so many women are not safe in their own homes? What will it take to extinguish the persistent violence against (cis- and transgender) women?
