Written on Apr 18 2010Excellent, mixed crowd, small venue, and the complimentary wine was great.

Written on Apr 12 2010A 2 character play with some rough language but interesting counterplay between the characters. I would recommend it but with the caveat that you be prepared for the rough language and raw content.

Written on Apr 05 2010Good acting but I found some of the situations not to be believable. The play lasted about one hour.

Written on Apr 05 2010Loved this play - and almost everything at the Fremont Theatre. This play had wonderful character development through a most interesting story. In addition to fine acting, it was a lovely sensuous performance.
More Information About Dialogue Between a Prostitute and Her Client
Description
Manila the prostitute is a matter-of-fact businesswoman. She provides a commodity for a fee. This isn’t quite enough for her client, who likes to fantasize when he engages in sex. But Manila is also a woman of intellect, which means she is capable of some fantasizing of her own, and it is her fantasies which are the keys to her own fragility and vulnerability. Her business is not so simple, after all.
The revered Italian playwright, novelist, screenwriter and essayist Dacia Maraini is famously a feminist, which means that her treatment of erotic themes extends way beyond the merely titillating. Prostitution provides a dramatic metaphor for various aspects in male-female relationships, including issues of power and domination, as well as the objectification and commercialization of women. Prostitutes have often been protagonists in popular narrative. Maraini goes beneath the surface of popular stereotype to give Manila a human face.
Is “Dialogue Between a Prostitute and Her Client” sexy? Yes. But its political underpinnings also make it thoughtful.
