Spring Break 2012: Part 2

Part II: Spring Break in Brooklyn, March 2012.

I just finished a fantastic three day run in Brooklyn again. First, my ex-boyfriend and best friend Eric’s short-story is about to be published. The title: The Margins of Tolerance.

It’s dramatic, darkly humorous, gay-themed, and quite sexy from what I’ve heard. I can’t wait to get my hands on the final product. He will have a reading at the Unnameable Bookstore in Prospect Heights later during the early summer.

For the most part, it was a relaxing trip—reading, food again. My friends Lauren, Doug and Chris also came in for brief and fun appearances. I love them all so much.

Fantastic theater musings:

The third Broadway revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” was pedestrian at best. Strong singers and vocals plus an over-the-top Judas (Jeremy Kushiner, understudy) couldn’t save what turned out to be a bombastic and soulless show. But the next show (see pic below, was HOT!)

BAM’s production of Restoration-era playwright’s Tis Pity She’s a Whore by the innovative Cheek-By-Jowl troupe from Europe was the theatrical highlight I wanted and found. Playing at the Harvey Theater in Ft. Greene, it was a shocking, over-the-top delight to watch and behold. It’s a story of incest, greed, revenge and murder, with a brother and sister, Giovanni and Annabella at its center. It was sexually-charged, white-hot show that will forever linger in my mind. From sexy encounters (the brother, played by Jack Gordon is fucking sexy---I couldn’t get my eyes off his body) and a squirm inducing scene where a character’s tongue is ripped out; it was a cross between a Euripedes play and a Quentin Tarantino erotic bloodbath.
