SIN reveals the man at the center of the firestorm around the recent priest sex abuse scandal.

Aunt Dan & Lemon
by Wallace Shawn, directed by Scott Elliott Wallace Shawn's political horror story concerns Lemon and her relationship with Aunt Dan, whose life stories are an unnerving mixture of the delicious and the despicable.
"The play's extraordinary goal [is] nothing less than to make you experience sensually the allure of the fascist governments and murderous regimes...In the aftermath of the American invasion of Iraq and the attendant public debates on pre-emptive warfare, Mr. Shawn's examination of blurred blood stains in Western culture takes on a newly electric topicality." |
