In the Boudoir


Rampaging about the stage in a frothy white hooped tutu and sparkly heels, throwing plates of cold spaghetti around and trying desperately to make an impression on -- and be impressed by -- the opposite sex, In the Boudoir tells a deceptively simple story about a young female comedienne's love life. Matters of the heart can be messy and In The Boudoir delights in making a mess. Veering erratically and erotically between the cliches of the helpless, ditzy female and the aggressive femme fatale, Shapiro both explodes stereotypes while making us recognize the universal desires for romantic passion within us all.
