Foreskin's Lament
"You stick it to them...right up their arse. You stick it to them until they've got turds coming out of their nostrils."
A play about Rugby. A play about men. Scene 1 is in the shower room in the shed. A comic vein runs from gross to menacing humour to a finely ironic wit.
A huge hit in New Zealand now available in Australia.

Plot / Synopsis
The play is a drama set in a Rugby changing room after a practice, and at an after-match party. The captain is kicked in the head offstage at the beginning of the first act, and again during the game between acts. He dies in hospital during the second act.
The theme is the conflict between fair play and winning at all costs, and the nonconformist lead character Foreskin's struggle to reconcile his university liberal values with those of his rugby-playing conservative mates.
The play ends with Foreskin directly addressing the audience in a monologue - or rather interrogation - filled with rugby allusions, questioning their own values, ending with the repeated question, "Whaddarya?" (usually used in New Zealand to question someone's masculinity). Early performances left audiences in stunned silence. In some productions Foreskin undresses during the lament and finishes nude.
