Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revolt Against Sentimental Scruples: The Sock, a Play of Protest; Together With a Foreward on Marital Morality and Unmoral Murder Since Bernard Shaw began bombarding the decadent moralities and sancti ies, the echoes of criticism have steadily rumbled thru letters, politics, religion and life in general. In the melee, the drama has become the literary weapon for shooting the new idea into the unwary mind. Naturally, those issues closest to the inner life of us all have supplied the most powder. Of these, sex is easily first. The cry of sex-freedom which has been ringing in our ears for some time merely portends the coming of a new morality. That mid-Victorian drivelings on marital morality are at odds with our rapidly developing pagan leanings, that popular beliefs in narrow faithfulness to wife or husband - so sublimely emphasized in the silent and spoken drama of Broadway - may not always be moral or beautiful is growing clearer as the hours pass. False notions of living still swaddle us in too many suppressed impulses. Social psychologists, as well as untutored laymen, are beginning to question the wisdom of clamping sex emotions within seal-tight compartments. Yes, we are growing impatient of New England rigidities. Can it be that the spirit of another Renaissance is beating in our blood? Of the many conflicts precipitated by the sex-life of our time, one that is seldom discussed, tho most commonly suffered, is whether love must remain satisfied within the bounds of the marriage circle or dare it rightfully venture beyond. To answer the question in the light of an outgrown morality is too easy. It ignores the basis of a governing universal creed; the greatest happiness for Me - here and now, demanding new adjustments. It overlooks the fact that the great urge behind woman´s cry for emancipation is, consciously or unconsciously, sex-freedom. Don Orno in "The Sock" attempts no categorical answer; preaches no inept sermon. He draws a picture with artistic skill and lets life talk thru his persons. "The Sock" is a radio-flash across the black night of love conventions and marital superstitions. It squares the old triangle and gives it a modern setting. The play is not a flippant or lurid treatment of forbidden love with a dash of Gallic pepper. It is an honest exposition of beautiful, open love - despite legally wedded partners - between kindred spirits; which love today may hypocritically show its face only in the rear-alleys of city Bohemias.
