i kid. i kid because i love.
as tranny stated, in an effort to support fellow fb.net and their artistic endeavors i checked out Tranny's play on Sunday night, which was playing like a mile from my parents house. it was a good excuse to get out and do something cultural and shit. i hadn't seen a stage play in a long time.
anyway, it was fun. it was kind of a trip seeing Tranny, and seeing him in a play no less, after reading all his posts about homemade dummys and accidentially eating his own feces water. like one of the reviews above says, his and this other girl's performances were the best in the group. not just saying that to be nice to the transmaestro. he played this cynnical stage (and movie) director guy who is putting on his own version of George Bernard Shaw's SAINT JOAN, about Joan of Arc. so throught the play there's this play-within-a-play thing happening, and some clever mirroring between themes in BOOK OF DAYS and SAINT JOAN. the presentation also has very self-conscious touches, with characters speaking directly to the audience and announcing when the next scene is coming etc..
anyway, it was fun. i thought the whole cast did a great job and there were some endearing characters. Tranny's "director" was one of the funniest, in that he was the most outwardly cynical, a-holish characters (in a likable way). for example, you laugh with him when he confesses that he was arrested for having sex with a 16 year old prostitute in his car. (at least i thought it was funny)
my only complaint with the play itself is that it ends a bit abruptly for me. the murder mystery, which is the crux of the play, doesn't really get going till the 2nd half, and then it's all quickly explained and wrapped up in the last scene. i guess it fits with the unconventional structure of the play, but i would have liked a little more of a pay off..
anyway, met Tranny briefly afterwards but he was being mobbed by his fans, and i had to go anyway, so it was brief. but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. like me.
peace out
