Lies of a Promiscuous Woman

Monkey Centurion/The Company of Woman—
Eckhardt-Grammatté Hall (UofW)

Despite a slightly misleading title, don’t expect a saucy tale of the Blessed Virgin’s untold exploits. This take on the New Testament is an intelligent and thought-provoking discourse that delves into feminism, religion, faith, and consequences.

Audra Lesosky’s writing is sharp, well researched, smart, and original. Theresa Thomson delivers the best performance I’ve seen of her vast work, bringing laughter and tears. The Madonna chorus provides punctuations to the poignant monologues and diatribes. The parallel storyline brought focus and accessible humanity. The standing ovation was well-earned; bravo to all.

Blasphemy be damned. This is a must see.
