Note to Readers: I find nothing in the content of this article that would disturb me if any of my children read it. But, in deference to those of you who might, I am categorizing this as "adult only".
The article below was culled from yahoo's "Oddly Enough!" News:
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Challenged by female pride after the success of the Hebrew-language version of "The Vagina Monologues," an Israeli playwright has put the penis center-stage.
Rafael Milo-Amar said Tuesday that his one-man show, "The Holy Phallus," was inspired by a disparaging remark one of the Israeli actresses in the local production of Eve Ensler's celebrated play had made about the male member.
"She said there was nothing to say about the penis. I told myself, 'I have something to tell her about the penis'," Milo-Amar told the Jerusalem Post.
According to the newspaper, The Holy Phallus is an extended monologue touching on rape, passion, handicaps, homosexuality and loneliness. A public relations agent for the play said it does not involve nudity.
Reviews have been mixed and Milo-Amar reported casting problems before he settled on bald-headed actor Yuval Cohen.
"At the end of shows people come and tell me, 'Wow what a great penis you are.' I take that as a compliment now," Cohen told the Jerusalem Post.
