POONA THE FUCKDOGand other plays for childrenby Jeff Goodecopyright © 1999 |
|
These outrageous "Fairy tales for Grown-ups" are not for the easily offended! Poona, our ingenuous heroine, meets up with aliens, talking shrubs, and mealy-mouthed salesmen in her quest to find someone to play in her big pink box. Nothing is sacred in this raucous assault on the power of language.

Though hilarious, you should probably leave the kids
at home with some appropriate childrens activities
when you see this play. Don't worry, though: while your having fun, they will too.
You can download and print coloring book pages
off the Internet that will keep them busy for hours, and you can even find
some arts and crafts activities that the sitter can help them with.

The play the Bush Administration does not want you to see! |
"Oh no, that would be explicit and inappropriate, and my federal funding prevents me from doing anything that might be educational or helpful to you later in life. But if you'd like a sandwich. Or a copy of the New Testament?"
