What's a lady to do in these modern, post-sexual-revolution times? A lady is free to have all the sex that she wants, but the lady is nevertheless always restricted by that which makes her a lady: her fertile womb. Kids are great, but college women might not be up to having and raising them quite yet. Medical technology, fortunately, has advanced past sheepskin condoms and Ye Olde Rhythme Methode.

Angelina is a woman scorned. Still wearing her wedding dress in court, she is suing Edwin for leaving her at the altar. The judge takes his seat, the usher pleads with the jury to be "free from all bias" and Edwin tries to sway opinions. Meanwhile, Edwin's past and current lovers are dispersed throughout the jury and audience. The Judge is actually just very lazy, and comedic stops and humor are in every other line. Is this the opera? It is, and director Robin Buck phrased it right while staging the opening scene. "I'm adding one thing," he said. "Laughter."
