Roseline is not just a plot device

Last Saturday a group of us from GMCSD went to see a play called Bunbury at the Diversionary Theatre, one of the best theatrical experiences I have had in a long time.

It all started with a nice pre show dinner at Park House Eatery including Ralph, Ed Fink, Carroll and yours truly.

Of course it wouldn't be a real chorus cultural outing if the waiter/bus boy wasn't just drop dead hot. It made it quite easier to wait for an excessively long time for our dinner to be served. As some of you may know when we went to see Wicked I was given a drool bucket because our waiter (Rory..yes I remember),hmm.. how can I explain it, had incredible calligraphy and loved animals. Fortunately, I had an extra bucket because Ed just was..how can I put it... star struck. He was so distracted that when our food finally came he started complaining that his was very spicy, no matter what he did the "caliente" just didn't go away, trying to cut out the outer layers of his pork and double dipping it in the "dark ranch sauce?" he had in his plate didn't seem to work. Fortunately Mr Bus Boy disappeared from the scene as Ed finally realized 3/4 of his plate gone, that the dark sauce was not ranch but a very Spicy Mole. God Bless ya!!

Finally we got to the play, there were approximately 17 of us, as usual Ralph had nice locations right in front of the stage. Nobody warned us that there would be nudity in this play, I'm still wearing an eye patch until the ophthalmologist can take Aaron Markote's gluteus maximus that I still have stuck in my eye. wow...JLO watch out!!!. The whole plot revovoled arround two characters...sorry plot devices, Roseline (Romeo and Juliet) and Bunbury (Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest) and how they changed literature by altering the endings of various masterpieces of the word. There are many references to known works (The Portrait of Dorian Gray, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Who's Afraid of Virigina Woolf) and dark pieces (well dark for this Latinamerican Literature disciple). I would give this play my best rating, 7 thumbs. The acting of Bunbury (David McBean) is out of this world and by itself worth the money. Coming Next... Avenue Q!!!!
