SUMMARY:Mae West and the Trial of Sex
DESCRIPTION:Walking Shadow Theatre Company presents\n\nMae West and the Trial of Sex\n\nby John Heimbuch\ndirected by Allison Vincent\n\nat Crane Theater\nMay 31- June 22\, 2025\nExtra! Extra! Provocative Playwright Mae West Runs Afoul of Broadway Censors\, Her Popular Play SEX Raided for Obscenity. Tammany Hall claims it was necessary to prevent West’s new homosexual drama\, THE DRAG\, from corrupting the youth of New York. The sultry starlet faces time in the slammer if she doesn’t amend her immoral ways and stop SEX at once! \nMae West and the Trial of Sex draws from court documents\, newspapers\, and West’s own plays to explore the overt sexuality and curious queerness of her rise to fame. Playwright John Heimbuch uses Mae West’s legal battle over censorship to show how queer representation became criminalized on stage and screen\, cutting LGBTQIA+ people off from their past. \nBefore she was an icon of the silver screen\, Mae West was a Broadway actress and playwright (under the name Jane Mast). In early 1927\, while performing in her long-running melodrama\, Sex\, about a Montreal sex worker\, West was developing a new play about Greenwich Village queer culture called The Drag. This play had a sympathetic view of homosexuality\, and included a large-scale drag ball onstage\, which worried the New York press and police. West became the target of a media campaign to clean up Broadway\, culminating in a police raid of Sex. The resulting obscenity trial resulted in the closing of Sex and The Drag\, ten days in jail for Mae West\, and a new censorship law that prevented queer characters from appearing in the American theatre for the next 40 years. \nTicket Prices:\nTickets are pick-your-price: $30 – $70.\nTicket sales only cover a portion of what it actually costs to present our plays.\nFor ticket sales to completely cover our production expenses\, a ticket would cost $50. \nYou choose your price!
