Bar-keep Robert Askins made a minor splash with his first comedy play "Hand to God". The theme of the play (which made Broadway) is that a puppet in the Christian Puppet Ministry has been possessed by Satan and its foul mouthed urging for all to revel in sin is played for laughs.
While retaining his full time job as a bar tender, he has found time to turn his talents to the world of spankos - in particular, those who opt to live within the tenets of Christian Domestic Discipline. Indeed, the promo from the MCC theater has the two lead actors do nothing other than face the camera squarely to quote from genuine posts to a leading CDD blog.
The premiere of his new production is scheduled to take place April 29, but I am unable to commute all the way to New York to attend a performance. Should you happen to get to see it, a quick review would be very welcome.
But what will the play actually be like? Well, we spankos are nothing if not thick skinned (its a side effect from getting one's butt whacked on a regular basis). But one rather hopes that those who get to see the play, find that he is laughing with us, not at us. One thematic element is said to be the problem of who actually holds the spanking paddle - so it could go either way.
And, frankly, anything that moves the media away from a 50-shades mentality is to be welcomed.
