Description A frontal assault on a social ill associated with male domination: pornography. It is boldly innovative in concept, although the departures from convention differ widely in its two brief acts, the first of which would appoach realism were it not for the fact that all the male parts are to be played by women; the second, however, resorts to symbolism reminiscent of late-medieval moralities.
