My Pussy is Purrin’ Again is part one-woman band, part memoir, part stand-up comedy. 78-year-old New Yorker D’Yan Forest gives both a titillating and endearing performance as she sings and zings about her many pussy purrin’ and not-so-pussy purrin’ adventures across the globe.
The show opens with Forest singing an ode to bisexuality as she plays the ukulele and it takes off from there. Amidst the musical instruments, jokes and sexual frankness, Forest shines most when she makes herself vulnerable to the audience revealing her struggles to stay true to herself in spite of her family, romantic partners and societal norms.
The historical background of the show is particularly intriguing, as Forest sets some of the scenes amidst Hitler’s Germany, 1950s domesticity, and the pre-Stonewall era before the words lesbian or bisexual were as commonplace as they are today. Forest’s intimate banter with the audience quickly makes you feel like you are spending time with an old friend, but outside of the wisdom of her years, Forest’s soul is as youthful as ever hence the reason her pussy is purrin’ again.
If you are looking for something intimate, whimsical and enlightening, this is the show for you.
