Thanks to hit-or-miss British humor, this one-woman show often feels more like a lively dissertation on feminist archetypes than a comedy. A single-breasted Amazonian princess is living in a lesbian paradise when a handsome pilot crashes his plane on her Sapphic island. She follows him to the U.S. for a "good lay" and thereafter stays in the States, becoming Wonder Woman. As such, she's written, drawn, rewritten and redrawn depending on the male fantasy or gender politics du jour. Sixty years later, she's exhausted from so many male-governed makeovers. Regardless, she still sports her tight red bustier and star-spangled hot pants while reminiscing about her sexually liberated Amazonian past: how she slept with Helen of Troy, the Greek Gods, Superman and Batman. After her 1980s TV show was canceled because she wasn't sexy enough, Wonder Woman goes from comic-stripper to plain old stripper. Though she raises her fists and thunders, "This is not a man's world! This is a woman's world!" it's clear that she wishes she had stayed on her island, happily boffing girls, far, far away from the male gaze.—Denise Penny
