 Jerry Springer Opera Gets London World Premiere 
Wed December 4, 2002 10:59 AM ET 
 LONDON (Reuters) - An outrageous opera based on Jerry
Springer's lurid talk show is to have its world
premiere at Britain's National Theater.

"[...]
British composer Richard Thomas joined forces with
comic writer Stewart Lee for an irreverent take on the
American talk show that has become a worldwide hit
with such programs as "Pregnant by a Transsexual" and
"Here Come the Hookers."

Among the opera's showstoppers are a diaper fetishist
confessing all to his true love, a dance routine by
the Ku Klux Klan and Jesus launching into a swearing
tirade against the Devil."
