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.
