In the Lounge Spanking Machine Marga Gomez
About This Show
”You don’t want to ever go near the Spanking Machine. You don’t ever want to see it.” Scotty said. Then he noticed me, the tallest girl in third grade. ”Margaret where have you been all my life?” No one had ever called me that because it wasn’t my name. His real name was Agamamnon Perez Jr. But he shortened it to Scotty because he thought Agamemnon sounded too Cuban. Marga Gomez’s 13th solo piece is a darkly comic memoir, set in Washington Heights, about the first boy she ever sloppy kissed and how it made them gay forever.
