    One of the funniest plays I've seen in years, and also surprisingly moving. The Underpants Godot is a love letter to theatre and the people who make it, but prior knowledge of Beckett's work is in no way prerequisite. More than a mere 'nothing's sacred' spoof, it's a clarion - or kazoo in a pinch - sounded to bring down the walls we build around our most precious cultural treasures. Hilarious, irreverent, and yes, sexy.

    Kathleen Warnock's simple front-porch memory play has a way of reeling you in before you even realize you've been hooked. Sentimental without being saccharine, funny and poignant, totally romantic.

    I love this play, its honesty, the complexity of its characters, and the unflinching way it examines consent and betrayal as it impacts even the most sex-positive among us. A genuinely sexy, surprising, satisfying play that drops its audience into a thicket of contemporary issues and refuses to take the easy way out.

    I broke a sweat reading this play. Truthful and terrifying, with wonderful roles for fearless actors.

    The INTAR production of this play had me at once terrified and totally turned on. It is deliciously intimate, and uncomfortable in all the right ways. More than a few times I found myself thinking "Oh we're actually going there!"

    Years since seeing a workshop production of this play, I still find myself thinking about it. Haunting, harrowing, smart, sexy, with terrific roles for brave actors. Fearless queer theatre that is passionate and profound without ever getting sloppy or sentimental.
