Controversial vs. Quirky



Those who prefer not to dwell on the darker side of life might enjoy a visit to Late Night Theatre'sInterrogating the Nude. An early work by playwright Doug Wright (a 2004 Pulitzer Prize winner forI Am My Own Wife), it might easily be referred to as Law and Order: Surrealist Victims Unit.

Bouncing between film noir and screwball comedy, the play unveils a sordid love triangle among Duchamp, his (fictitious) twin sister (and lover) Rose, and fellow artist Man Ray. Wright is known for playing with the nature of gender in his plays, and this trifle is no exception.

... led by director Scott O'Brien, the enthusiastic cast delivers some good laughs.
