Seeing the Play, "The Penis Society"

On Saturday night, we saw "The Penis Society"at the Aquanova Bar.  It was uproariously funny!  From the moment the show began, and the 3 characters came out and led the crowd in the spelling of "P-E-N-I-S", you knew it wasn't going to be a normal night at the theatre.

The basic premise of the play is examining some of Singapore's high ranking officials, who got caught with their pants down - literally!  One of the funny things is that they can't name the officials, because they'll be sued for libel, but they have no problems "exposing" the Western leaders who got caught.  Also, for all of the titillation and innuendo, the message of the play is to pay attention to the head on top of your shoulders, or you may risk everything!  I highly recommend the play, with the caveat that you must bring a cover up, because the Aquanova was quite cold - and I rarely get cold!  Also, if you can go on a weeknight, do so.  The play costs a little more on Saturday, and is more crowded.  Finally, be sure to arrive early.  I can't count how many people came just before the play was about to start, and were very unhappy with their seat locations.  It's a small "theatre".  Only so many people can be in the front row around the stage!
