| Howard Miller takes a look at Ibsen's Ghost from Primary Stages in association with George Street Playhouse, at 59E59 Theatres: Anyone who thought plays featuring men in drag were on the way out (Pick your poison: Insulting to women? Exploiting transgender stereotypes? Too old hat for words?) should cast their eyes on the current Off-Broadway scene. At this very moment, there are no fewer than four productions with drag performances at their center. There is Deadly Stages, the murder mystery spoof at Theatre Row in which Marc Castle portrays aging Broadway star Veronica Traymore. There is Make Me Gorgeous at Playhouse 46, a bio play about professional female impersonator Kenneth/Kate Marlowe. There is the farcical romp Oh, Mary! at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, in which Cole Escola is drawing accolades for playing the role of Mary Todd Lincoln. And, significantly, these three shows share a common link to actor, playwright, and drag queen extraordinaire Charles Busch, whose own play Ibsen's Ghost opened tonight at 59E59 Theaters. |
