The Farce of Sodom is a sexually explicit play which satirizes the
reign of Charles II of England during the Restoration of the
English monarchy. Explicit and uncompromising in tone, this send-up
of the Royal Court grossly exaggerates the rumors surrounding the
court of the king. We witness the homosexual King Bolloximian ban
ordinary sexual intercourse in his kingdom, decreeing that only
anal intercourse be permitted among the entire population. The
excesses of the wealthy are shown in a sequence of erotic acts in a
court preoccupied with luxuriating in debauchery. Eventually the
nature of the acts the wealthy are consigned to perform upsets
enough members of the court, and King Bolloximian is violently
deposed. He and his closest companions are then consigned to
hellfire. Banned for centuries, during recent years The Farce of
Sodom has attracted renewed appreciation, with a version of the
drama staged at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival.
