Yeesh, missed another Sunday Scribblings, but really I am quite busy at the moment. I'm in a play, for anyone who hasn't heard. It's quite good, even if I can't act anymore, all of the other people in the play can so I would highly recommend you come and see it.

It's a comedy/satire about the Canadian Maud Allan, who was the first woman to play Salome in Oscar Wilde's play of the same name. It was 1918 and she was a belly dancer, and a paper printed a scandalous article about her being a member of the Cult of the Clitorites and being a lesbian and all that and she sued the paper for libel, but then Mr. Billing (owner of the paper) turned it around on her (much as happened to Oscar Wilde himself) and said it wasn't libel, that she was perverted and that she was perverting the public with her dance. The dude won.

This is the fictionalized account of that true story. It's an awesome script. I have a small part, thank god as I seriously can't remember how to act, and without further ado:
