Oral Histories

By Ward Kay

This a theater piece designed for the Capital Fringe Festival. Four actors on a basically blank stage. Three storytellers and a hostess -- talking about oral sex. Each story begins a provocative statement:"Getting head made me rich.""I found Jesus through oral sex.""A blow job saved my life."Each storyteller then takes ten to fifteen minutes to explain how oral sex made his or her life better. Each story is funny, moving and emotional. The stories seem so real that some audiences members have thought the actors actually lived the experience. But these are works of fiction.To break up the storytelling, the hostess appears to give a little lesson on the effect of different foods on the taste of oral sex.Reviews Washington Post (July 22, 2016)"the show is fun and engaging, with capable performers who keep your attention. It's a fun romp that never gets crude. Which, you know, is hard to do with a subject like this."DC Theatre Scene (July 12, 2016)"Holy. Crap. "You don't hear this kind of talk in the theatre. Let alone a Fringe show." No, really. Holy crap. This might be the best Fringe show I've ever seen"Originally presented as a part of the 2016 Capital Fringe Festival, a program of the Washington, DC non-profit Capital Fringe.
