Up Your Assnever published during her lifetime but full of her signature irreverence and wit, incisiveness, and campexplodes social and sexual mores and the hypocritical, patriarchal culture that produces themThe play, the full title of which is
Up Your Ass Or From the Cradle to the Boat Or The Big Suck Or Up from the Slime, marches out a cast of screwy stereotypes: the unknowing john, the frothy career girl, the boring male narcissist, two catty drag queens, the sex-depraved housewife, and a pair of racialized pickup artists, among others.
At the center is protagonist Bongi Pereza thinly veiled Solanasa sardonic, gender-bending hustler who escorts us through the back alleys of her street life. The fictionalized predecessor to
SCUM Manifesto, the play shares the same grand, subversive, implicative language, equally spitting and winking, embracing the margins, the scum, and selling a trick along the way.
