Cross-Eyed Bear Productions Home | E-mail Written by Duncan Pflaster A woman, spurned in love, finds a deserted island and sets herself up as The Empress Salacia, decreeing that there shall be no love allowed in her domain, only sex. She gathers some sybaritic acolytes, and all is frolicsome mindless fun until Salacia's ex-lover Agis comes to the island in disguise, to attempt to win her back. Finalist, MTWorks 2010 Newborn Festival., reading July 2010 Semi-Finalist, About Face Theatre's 2010 XYZ Festival of New Work: "The Empress of Sex was so exciting in its boldness, scope, bravery, and hilarity. It was very interesting to experience a world that disassociates love from its 'former partner' sex and dares to fully examine what that entails for the specific characters that were created. A truly enjoyable theatrical experience." - Feedback from reader Design altered from an Aubrey Beardsley drawing. Marble background texture from www.grsites.com.
