The Raunchy Romp with the Raging Queen
François le Foutre—The Asper Centre for Theatre & Film (U of W)
Ren Faire veteran François le Foutre’s Raunchy Romp is based on excerpts from his erotic pirate sexcapades aboard the Raging Queen, as serialized in his Seamen Sexology novellas. Performed solo, the show features frequent audience participation, with volunteers recruited to re-enact the adventures of the expected salty seamen and defensive dykes that populate his punny piratical exploits.
The sole departure from his innuendo-laden adventure tales is a full rendition of his not-yet-published Suessical fetish parody, which stands out as a highlight of the show. While the material is deliberately over-the-top, much of the show’s effectiveness depends on the energy and responsiveness of the crowd.
Audience participation isn’t optional, it’s central. With a lively and willing audience, the performance builds momentum; without that engagement, the structure might feel thin. While le Foutre is an experienced performer, the production’s success hinges on the audience’s commitment. You’d be best to board the Raging Queen with flamboyantly fruity or straight-but-not-narrow friends who are ready to play.
