John Yankee / Syphillis

September 29 – October 2, 1994

Mel Herst, Kate Knuth, Rachel Stratton and Barry Morse collaborate in a bawdy musical burlesque recounting the saga of the lives of the 19th century author Comte de Lautreamont and the hermaphrodite Herculine Barbin as their minds are overcome by syphillis.
