Lewis’s book The Screwtape Letters.   (An excellent play, if you should get the opportunity take the time to see it!)   So here’s the thing, ten minutes before curtain call I decided to go use the restroom.   I walked out of the theater, to the restroom, saw the line and proceeded right back to the theater.   The line was so long that it wrapped out of the restroom alcove and almost back to the door of the theater.   No granted the theater isn’t huge but there had to be at least 25 women in line.   I have found no matter where you go there is always a very long line for the women’s room while men come and go very freely and quite often.   I want to know who
