Synopsis

Judith of Bethulia

Judith of Bethulia $10.99

Charles Busch

Published by Samuel French Inc

6 Male 4 Female

Imagine Mae West at her most outrageous in a Cecil B. DeMille biblical epic ...

Now imagine Judith of Bethulia - a beautiful, wealthy young widow, reviled by her own people as nothing more than a good for nothing, gold digging adventuress

But when her ancient city of Bethulia is facing brutal annihilation, Judith employs all her charms and talents to prove them wrong

Wearing her most glittering finery, she bravely slips into the enemy camp and seeks out the ruthless General Holofernes

Whom she seduces ...

... and then decapitates!

This wild homage to the Hollywood epic is the latest crazy trip to the cinematic past by the author of the cult classics Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and The Divine Sister

"Mr Busch is a first-class satirist and farceur" ~ The New Yorker

"A playwright of extensive good humor, skill and wicked comic daring" ~ Michael Feingold, The Village Voice
