    Split Britches: Last Gasp

    Equipped with a bulletproof vest, some know-how, and a touch of irony, two icons of lesbian-feminist theatre use spoken word and movement as a call and response to urgent global predicaments. Peggy Shaw’s poetic musings are interspersed with Lois Weaver’s dance essays in which she wryly upends "how-to mania," with the duo hitting upon survival strategies for a world collapsing around them.
    Thu.-Sun., Aug 3-6, 8pm. $15-50.
