Description
An award-winning hit on Broadway, this sophisticated comedy from gay actor and author Charles Busch promises wall-to-wall laughs. Marjorie, the wife of philanthropic allergist, Dr. V. Ira Taub, is engulfed in a life crisis of Medea-like proportions: her children are grown, her beloved therapist died recently and her mother, obsessed with bowel movements, grates on her nerves. She tries to lose herself in a world of art galleries, foreign films and avant-garde theatre, but finds she is barely able to rouse herself from the sofa. Her spirits suddenly soar when a fascinating and incredibly worldly friend from her childhood appears on her doorstep. Unfortunately for the couple, Lee the saviour who infuses Marjorie with life becomes Lee the unwelcome and sinister guest in short order.

Guidelines for reader comments

Submissions go directly online, without being seen by editors. So, it’s important that you follow the laws against defamation. Do that by keeping your comments focussed on issues, and on your ideas and opinions. Do not get personal and do not defame others. If you see defamatory comments made in other people’s postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment must directly relate to the subject of the article.

Avoid confusing statements; express your thoughts clearly and succinctly so readers will understand your opinion. Do not post superficial comments, such as a short phrase or just a few words.

Do not post promotions of products, services or events. If you see such postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment and name may also be published in an Xtra paper.

Publication of your comments on Xtra.ca or in an Xtra paper is not an endorsement of your views by Xtra.ca or Pink Triangle Press.
