The daily adventures of a fabulous poof in an emotional jungle. Watch as imagination, fact and fiction blur into an insane life dependent on outrageousness and an occasional venomous jibe.
"a stable boy who has an erotic relationship with his horses ... Peter Shaffer's 1973 play Equus"
Oh for christ's sake. Equus is about a boy who creates a personal religion from fragments of christianity and his childhood association of horses with freedom. It gives him a strong spirituality, until his 'god' (horses) sees him sinning (having sex) with a woman.
It's one of the most important plays of the 20th century. It's about religion, hypocrisy, and especially guilt. It's not about a kid who fancies horses!
So, next from the BBC's theatrical correspondant:
Waiting for Godot - Two tramps decide to kill themselves because it might give them erections.
Billy Liar - A man has two girlfriends.
Evil of the Daleks - Sink plungers are phallic symbols.
Harry Potter in the nude? Um, yes!

Yeah, I always thought that about the Daleks. All dicks and nipples.
ReplyDeleteKapitano, I had no desire to see Equus - until now. What is Aunty like?
ReplyDeleteAnd Brian, I always thought the most scary thing about the Daleks was their bounty of nipples. It's pure wrong.
Oh, I think I'll pass on that image.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Daleks, I totally don't see it. *breaks out the sex book*
In the play, he stabs out the horse's eyes, or something. After seeing this play, I think I'll want to do the same.
ReplyDeleteThe Daleks are blatantly saying 'Ex-sperm-inate!' Don't people know this?!?
Looks nice! Awesome content. Good job guys.
