N THE GARDEN
by Norman Allen
directed by Clyde Simon
May 30 – June 28
Cross the threshold into a realm where the sexual and spiritual entwine.
The lives of four urban sophisticates are rocked by their encounters with Gabe, a beautiful young man who is everything but what he seems: precocious young scholar, hot pan-sexual boy-toy, selfless weird homeless kid, or what? With unworldly charisma, Gabe constructs a web of sensuality, sexual identity, seduction and theology grounded in the lessons of the New Testament. A professor of philosophy, his fashionista wife, and their slick young friends must rise to the young man’s erotic and spiritual challenge, questioning their lives as they question his very identity. With high comedy and thought-provoking drama, In the Garden blends sexual conventions, high fashion, Nietzsche, and Christ in a hyper-theatrical rollercoaster ride.
Artistic Director Clyde Simon directs the convergence-continuum ensemble in this nicely off-beat and irreverent dramedy by playwright Norman Allen that takes a swipe at social, sexual and religious norms with its complex blending of wit, infidelity and audacious philosophizing.
