How does one... philosophize pussy? When Leaina runs off to Lesbos with her best friend Megillus, Lucian turns to supreme genius Plato to help him solve the unfathomable mysteries of his wife’s new relationship. What begins as a campy and hilarious satire turns into a kaleidoscope of verbatim stories about queer love in this whimsical new play.
Over 30 queer community members have come together to delight in the creation of Lucian, Plato, and the Secrets of the Pussy. This campy, queer odyssey packs 60 minutes full of humour and heart.

Sensory description
There are two settings in the show: first in Lucian's office, then on the island of Lesbos. Lucian's office is stuffy and dim, Lesbos is bright and surrounded by nature. The show is dialogue heavy. Typically it is two characters speaking to one another at a time, but there is one scene in which four characters are talking. More specific information on the lighting, sound, costumes and other sensory elements are to come.
