The Post Porn Modernist Show is the story of Annie Sprinkle's sexual evolution told, and explored, through a series of burlesque-like autobiographical multi-media vignettes. During the course of its performance run, between 1989 and 1996, Annie Sprinkle allowed the Post Porn Modernist Show to evolve to represent her personal, aesthetic and political evolution. The show with its structure consisting of independent, interrelated, scenarios allowed Sprinkle the flexibility to edit, revise and add new sections. Consequently it is important to note that there is no one definitive script for the Post Porn Modernist Show. The Illustrated script presented here is a compilation edited and compiled from three different versions under the supervision of the artist. (Examples of these scripts are available for reference in the "Script Versions" section)
