Sqrieux-de-dieu, screw mon dieu, Scooby Doo! by Ncntulie speck1 to

If you can relate to any of the leisurely activities just mentioned, in even the most remote fashion, SQRIEUX-DE-DIEU is a play not tobe m i s s e d . Youcancatchtheperfonnance tonight and tomorrow night, Frid a y , O c t o b e r 23 and Saturday, October 24 at 8 p . m . i n r o o m 3 0 0 5 o f the PAS building. Tickets are available at the door for $5. Notice should be taken of the factthat,theplaycontainsscenesof nudity and the usuage of language and action that may b e c o n s i d e r e d inappropriate for the traditional and conservative sort. Arrive early. Seating is limited to an audience of approximately 55, which is definitely a positive attribute allowing an intimacy to be born between the audience and actors. Written by the now deceased Canadian Betty Lambert, the play
focuses on the ever present and eternal dilemma of o b t a i n i n g w h a t y o u desire and what to do with it once y o u ’ v e g o t it? As a confidant once asked me, “is this what you really want, or is it just the challenge?” Presented by Upstage Productions, the drama a l s o concentrates on neurotic tendencies, that bewitch individuals and how these aspects weave themselves into “normality.” The q u e s t i o n o f w h a t i s “ n o r mal” is a whole new basket of laundry, be it whether norm means average or a personal opinion of what is couth and acceptable. You de&de. During various pa* of the p l a y , I found myself slipping into the other side of fantastical reality: a nice break, as well as a sure sign of realistic character portrayal. The cast and crew play a wonderful role of bringing you into their world.

Do you ever find yourself indulging in the pleasures of erotica, sexual toys/fantasies, whipped cream, Tai Chi Chuan or a “vex&ble vestigal vestal virgin“? Perhaps you prefer feeding your mother Valium, your husband testicles for supper or Paris Green, crafti!ydisguisedinSaskatoonberry .j= What is Paris Green? It’s chock full of potent arsenic that is toxic enough to exterminate the vermin of your choice, which of course, could be your one and only beloved. Then again, you may be the type to yield to the desires of acheiving an altered state of consciousness, through multiple orgasms or mantra repition while assuming the lotus position.
