“Lucian, Plato, and the Secrets of the Pussy” is seeking a Director/Dramaturg & Stage Manager for the 2025 Toronto Fringe Festival production, written by Sydney Scott and Jules Spizzirri.
APPLICATIONS CLOSE: February 17th, 9pm.
Show Synopsis
When Lucian’s wife Leaina takes off to Lesbos with the alluring Megillus, Lucian isn’t heartbroken, he’s just… curious. Faced with an impossible problem, he contacts Plato, his smartest best friend for help. These two men work tirelessly to answer the inconceivable, the impossible, the most preposterous question of all time: “how do they have sex!?” Based on the curious little ancient dialogue by Lucian of Samosata, “Lucian, Plato, and the Secrets of the Pussy” is verbatim theatre meets satirical adaptation that examines whose ideas have shaped our world, and what it means to rewrite the truth.
