What's KAMA SUTRA About?!

KAMA SUTRA is a very clever, comical sexual adventure. In the play we meet

Tristan & Pamela; a happily married couple hitting middle age who have settled into an uneventful existence. Until one day Pamela stumbles across a copy of the KAMA SUTRA at the library in the cookery section. (At first she thinks it is an Indian cook book!!! Many of the pages were stuck together you see!) What follows is a hysterical romp through her newly found sexual awareness, and Tristan's resistance to her new sexual revolution. While the play is admittedly very funny, it is also a cleverly disguised lesson in compromise, accepting change and growth.

Warning: This play has adult subject matter, many terms for genitalia and some middle aged naked bum exposure!

Has this play been produced before?

Playwright Peter Mc Garry with Eyewitness Theater Company in England first premiered this play at the 1999 Orlando Fringe Festival and then took it across the Canadian Fringe circuit that same year. It played to sold out audiences in Orlando and across Canada. He has also produced it in England, Ireland and Australia. Peter came across the pond in August 2007 to play Tristan and help Winnie open Dangerous Theatre with its first production in Denver. Since it is such a fun play, and had such a short run, Winnie decided to bring it back.

Voted "Best Comedy" at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival

Review recently in the Denver Oyster:

Hey Baby! Know what is really hot for this week? Kama Sutra, an ancient Indian text widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit. It is structured into seven parts, but the focus is on three aims and priorities of Hindi life, the acquisition of knowledge, conduct of the well bred and reflections to assist the lover in romantic enterprises. A common misconception about the Kama Sutra is that is a sex-manual or a sacred, religious work. Still, if you pick up the book at your local bookstore, you will find delightful and artistic sexual positions, which will put you out of any missionary position attitudes you, may have. I know YOU don't.

My recent delight was attending a small theater production of Kama Sutra at Denver's Dangerous Theatre. You won't want to miss this one. If you have never experienced the intimacy of a small theater production, you are in for quite a delectation. With very few props in a small production, the focus is on the acting, and in this case the wonderful talents of Winnie Wenglewick as Pamela and Bob Webb who plays her husband Tristan.

The story centers around a middle aged English housewife who accidentally finds a copy of the Kama Sutra in the cook book section at the library. As she explores her sexuality and breaks free from her long traditional housewife position, we see her blossom into full womanhood and personal empowerment. The rift is, she fully expects her traditional missionary position, uptight and proper husband, Tristan, to accompany her on her journey of growth and personal enlightenment. As she thrives on the changes she makes, he is miserable and wants things to remain the same. His feeble attempts to comply, often unwillingly, is hilarious and sad at the same time. Their journey brings them back to themselves and their marriage reaps the benefits of a deep lasting love that was hidden under the monotony and pressures of their stifling imposed culture. Eyes wide open, their love and marriage becomes stronger. It is absolutely hilarious, genuinely engaging and a must see.
