Why not have a fetish,
By john paul kinhart (Baltimore, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psychopathia Sexualis (Paperback)
John Patrick Shanley's play psychopathia sexualis is a salty comedy about a painter who is about to get married, but has a problem. He is not the master of his own domain. Arthur, the painter, can only get off while in close proximity to his father's argyle socks. Arthur's therapist, Dr. Brock, tries desperatly to cure Arthur of his fetish, but with no luck. Finally the desperate man takes the socks hostage, and arthur's tough fiance decides to bully Dr. Block to make him "surrender the footwear". This savy play ask us where we draw the line for what is crazy, and who decides how to "cure" us. It shows the power struggles between man and woman, man and man and woman and man. In the end, can we decide who is and isn't crazy? If so, haven't we just erased the line of convention, only to redraw it in another place. How crazy is crazy? And does a guy who makes love wearing his father's argyle socks really need to be fixed?
