Written by Bryan Colley
Lingerie Shop is a male fantasy about life in a sexy lingerie shop. Everything is hot and steamy until one of the actresses curses the playwright and quits the play in the middle of a scene. What follows is a Pirandello-styled farce that deconstructs theatre and feminism.

Reviews
"A short, succinct bit of satire that doesn’t wear out its welcome. It’s a clever idea executed with quick, broad strokes." ~ Robert Trussell, KC Star
Instead of six characters in search of an author - Bryan Colley presents us with six characters in search of a way out of a script that controls their every movement and dialogue. Frenetic pace and monologues spoken as quickly as humanly possible keep the farce element in chaotic staging. Feminism is a big topic here, but something of the male playwright privilege is here, too. It's often a struggle to bring the dream world of men to the stage without being a perv. This is well done. - James Binz
