An idea expressed in Becky Shaw is the idea of “Two kinds of
trouble.” "Sexy" and "Not sexy".
I’m baffled at the idea that someone COULD be telling me the
truth but instead they offer me up this sexy fiction because “That’s what people
want.” Is it what we want or is it what we are offered?
I’m sad to see paper- “newspapers” go by the wayside… not for
any nostalgic purposes but simply because the internet allows for so many more
irrelevant pieces of information to pollute my brain and stress me out.
Of course I want to stay informed but I also know that bad
news sells more than good news. Sexy news will always win out. And truth will
have to out itself.
It all seems to go back to money. Why take a gamble on an
uncomfortable truth when a sexy irrelevance is a sure thing?
Last week, I happened upon a brief synopsis of Becky Shaw in
a "Fall arts Catalogue" courtesy of one of our local press machines. This
synopsis states that Becky Shaw is about an older woman with MS who dates a
younger, less distinguished man.
Come see us open September 7th 2012 and decide for yourself if that's what this play is about... (It could also be that whoever wrote that only read the first 10 pages... but I suppose it could be about a woman with MS...)
Finally: I have attached a piece of sexy news and a piece of
non-sexy news for your viewing pleasure/stress...
