Carthoris 256 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I just found out about this play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinetown The basic premise is ridiculous on the face of it - if water is in short supply, then the economics indicate that companies would pay you for your pee, rather than requiring you to pay them. However, the notion of a play which uses pee as a plot point is amusing. In the play's storyline, once the people are liberated from their oppressors, they revel in the freedom "to pee whenever they like, as much as they like, for as long as they like, and with whomever they like". Which does sound like the sort of fun people in this crowd would enjoy. 2 Quote Link to post

CrissyP 787 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I saw a professionally produced production of the play a few years ago. It was interesting although I agree it was a bit strange. 1 Quote Link to post

One more reason for the deplorable state of economics literacy in this country. Quote Link to post
CrissyP 787 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The play is in no way distasteful despite the title. It's a satire and comments on mega-corporations, capitalism and big brother. Quote Link to post
