Mae West: Berkeley Bombshell

In 1926, MAE WEST wrote the play that launched a million headlines.
• • Opening in northern California on 6 November 2007 is a fresh revival of "Sex." West Coast actress Delia MacDougall stars in the controversial role that made Mae West famous, as a sailor-loving streetwalker who gets in trouble when she helps out a drugged socialite and devises her own form of sensual revenge on her accuser.
• • Tom Ross directs West's 1926 play — — a Broadway hit full of salty songs and double entendres that resulted in police raids and led [indirectly] to West's conviction for obscenity.
• • Previews begin this Friday. Performances of "Sex" will run from November 6th - December 9th, 2007.
• • "Sex" is here: Aurora Theatre, 2081 Addison St., Berkeley, CA; Tel: 510-843-4822.
