Review: SEX Sells the Bawdy Humor of Boundary-Breaking Blonde Bombshell Mae West
by Shari Barrett - May 22, 2018
Mae West was definitely a woman who played by her own rules in all aspects of her life. She dismissed barriers, boundaries, fears, judgements and prejudices and always believed women needed to be in charge of their own lives. Her play Sex was both outrageous and pornographic in 1926, full of playfulness and lots of camp as well as topical storytelling about the battle of the Sexes. As the show's director Sirena Irwin shares, "Sex is a story of survival, imprisonment, fear, revenge, transformation, freedom, and love. It is a feminist perspective from nearly 100 years ago that invites us to reflect on where we've progressed and where we've stagnated. Mae West, in her wisdom, tried to open minds with humor and heart."

This Sexy, awkward, and very funny script envisions a dark future where some humans want to be like the ruling robot class. It asks questions about what it means to be human, what we should desire, and what we're willing to give up to achieve our dreams.
