Written three years before she won the Pulitzer Prize for How I Learned to Drive, Paula Vogel’s Hot ‘N’ Throbbing is a bold, unflinching examination of domestic violence, sexual politics and parenting. The story follows Charlene, a suburban single mother who writes pornographic feminist screenplays to support her hormonally charged teenagers. When her alcoholic ex-husband Clyde returns, the family’s day takes a dark turn that will change them all forever. Vogel’s play is a savagely funny and potent exploration of adult themes that will challenge you with tough questions about society’s continued role in raising victims, bullies and abusers.
