Crimes
Against Nature is a 65 minute solo theatre performance
written and performed by Chris Kilmartin, directed by Gregg
Stull, and supported by a Jepson Funds for Excellence Grant for
Teaching Innovation. It is a humorous and compelling look at the
social pressure to be masculine. Using a good deal of
autobiographical material to illustrate universal gender themes,
Crimes Against Nature points out the absurdities and
contradictions of masculine demands and leaves the audience with
a heightened awareness of the nature of these demands and a
sense that one has choices about whether or not to accede to
them. This show enjoyed a highly successful, sold out, standing
ovation debut at Mary Washington College in March, 1998, and has
since toured to over 85 campuses and other venues. |
