How does one... philosophize pussy? When Leaina runs off to Lesbos with her best friend Megillus, her ex-husband Lucian is desperate for answers. He turns to the genius Plato to help unravel the intimate and unfathomable mysteries of this new relationship, and these Great Philosophical Minds are forced to confront their own desires simmering beneath their togas. Over 30 queer artists and contributors have come together to delight in the creation of "Lucian, Plato, and the Secrets of the Pussy". This gender-bending, genre-blending odyssey is a bold new adaptation, woven from a mosaic of verbatim accounts of queer love.

Sensory description
There are two settings in the show: first in Lucian's office, then on the island of Lesbos. Lucian's office is stuffy and dim, Lesbos is bright and surrounded by nature. The show is dialogue heavy. Typically it is two characters speaking to one another at a time, but there is one scene in which four characters are talking. Please refer to the access guide for more specific information on the lighting, sound, costumes, and other sensory elements.
