"Age of Arousal"
1885 - a time of great passion, great confusion. Virtue is barely holding down its petticoats. Women are bursting their corsets with unbridled desire. Determined to make women rich, ex-militant suffragette Mary Barfoot and her devoted protégé and lover Rhoda enlist female students to master the new invention that will gain them freedom – the typewriter. Three spinster sisters are invited into the school to rescue them from poverty, setting in motion an odyssey of alcoholism, cross dressing and sexual revolution.
Enter Everard Barfoot, Mary’s cousin, an ex-doctor in his 30s about to embark on a life of leisure, and suddenly all the characters in this lavish sexy ensemble piece are erupting with discoveries, contradictions and epiphanies. Genre busting, rule-bending and ambitiously original.
Stykket var rigtig godt - gode skuespillere, specielle kostumer og gode reaktioner fra publikum hele vejen igennem.
Vi fandt dog ud af i pausen, at det tilsyneladende ikke var alle, der syntes om stykket. En gæst, der sad ved siden af mor og Thorkild, rejste sig og gik da Mary Barfoot og Rhoda ca. 5 minutter inde i forestillingen kyssede hinanden... - måske havde han ikke læst omtalen?!
Da forestillingen var færdig gik vi på en hyggelig lille pub "Blue Blazer" og fik smagt på lidt af det skotske øl :)
