The Civilians, New York's award-winning investigative theater company, is back with "Let Me Ascertain You: Sex Variants 1941." In the 1940s, Dr. George W. Henry of Cornell University interviewed over 200 people about their sex lives, intimate relationships, typically troubled childhoods, incessant bed-wettings, and psychotic aunts in one of the earliest "scientific" surveys of sexual deviancy titled "Sex Variants" published in 1941. This study, which includes 80 graphic first-person accounts and deeply intimate physical examinations, gives us an amazing archive of our early sex history--a window into an otherwise invisible world. The Civilians transforms these stories into a provocative, pansexual cabaret of monologues and songs about first times, dreamy fantasies and excessive fetishes. Dig your own skeletons out of the closet and join The Civilians as they expose the hidden truth behind the 'sex variant."
