Estrogen-ius!
I did not make it to the Philharmonic concert on Friday so I’m supplementing my absence with this commentary on a theater festival i attended. I went to a little place on MacDougal and 8th Street and walked into a haven of stereotypical liberalacci bohemians. The festival was called Estrogenius, a feminist off off broadway showing of 5 plays. It ranged from a couple that just so happens to be con artists, a mother and child ages 90ish and 50ish, and the climactic play was a couple moving to a new neighborhood that demands them to sacrifice their first born child to a local malevolent god named Sog Thothoth. Its hard to pronounce. It was a good show and brought out some interesting themes. The most interesting of which was the old mother in the second play i mentioned that had to deal with being a housewife her whole life and now too old to remarry or even do anything romantic she must find a meaning to life after her husbands death.
It was good.
