Synopsis: Just in case you're worried, there are no actual blowjobs in this play; there aren't even any actual blowjobs depicted in the seven photographs that fuel all of its action. These photos arrive at the office of Senator Bob X, from an anonymous sender, delivered FedEx. Receptionist Dot peeks into the mystery package and is stunned by what she sees pictures, evidently, showing people in provocative states of doing something that apparently is naughty, perhaps even forbidden. Administrative Assistant Eileen and Legislative Assistant Bruce take a look next long, long, long looks looks that drive them gaga, in fact, with Eileen writhing about at a desk and Bruce more or less orgasmic on the floor, one photo pressed against a private area of his anatomy. Eventually, Senator B himself gets a gander at the offending photos, and is, yes, offended. But unlike his staffers, he's more interested in finding out who has sent these incriminating evidences to him, and why. nytheatre.com | ||||
