Theatre Review: David's Friend (SoHo Playhouse, Off-Broadway) ★★★★★

Currently playing Off-Broadway in repertory with The Village! A Disco Daydream, is another play written by Nora Burns, the celebratory and deeply poignant David’s Friend, which she also stars in. Originally conceived and performed as a one-night-only piece at Dixon Place in 2015, Burns went on to develop the show with director Adrienne Truscott, leading to an extended run at La MaMa in…

Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For It Comes to the Northampton Academy of Music

Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For It Comes to the Northampton Academy of Music

Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For Itmixes humor, dance, and video while undoing the rules and rhetoric surrounding rape and comedy. Adrienne straddles the world of stand-up and performance art in this one woman show dressed only from the waist up and ankles down. With commentary from George Carlin, Louis C. K. and Robert De Niro, she takes on ducks, mini-skirts, rape whistles, Daniel Tosh, and Rick…

Edinburgh Fringe Day 7: Three naked bottoms, tears and a cunning stunt

Edinburgh Fringe Day 7: Three naked bottoms, tears and a cunning stunt

Today, I watched three performers talking out of their arses. Hardly a new thing at the Edinburgh Fringe, you might think.

I couldn’t possibly be cheap enough to use a pun

Except this was the much-touted Wild Bore comic theatrical piece at The Traverse in which Zoe Coombs Marr, Ursula Martinez and Adrienne Truscott perform with their naked bottoms (and occasionally with the rest of their bodies).

“I was 21 years old. I was in college at Wesleyan, a very left liberal arts "women’s” university, and my professor was trying to get us riled up and have a big debate about gender, race, and class. He brought in the statistics that 2 in 5 women are sexually assaulted in this country and he was like, “There are 10 women in this class that means four women in this class statistically speaking have been raped.”

“You could just feel that all the women in the class felt so confronted and that could very well be true and really triggering. I felt like he thought it was this big learning moment for everybody like, deal with the reality, deal with the world, why aren’t you outraged by this? He kept going how does that make you feel, and no one said anything.

"Then, I finally said, "I’ll tell you how it makes me feel. Really angry because I don’t want to hear about who was raped. There’s three male students in the class and you. So I want to know if four people raped, which one of you raped us? Because once someone is raped it’s already fucking happened, but if we talk about the other thing and make the boys feel uncomfortable and say if those are the statistics, then statically speaking someone in this room raped us. Let’s talk about that.”’

“In Wild Bore, we were looking at all the different ways male critics tend to speak about experimental work by female and queer artists. There's so much evidence that these critics never even engage—they never give women the benefit of the doubt; they never trust we know what we're doing. They act incredulous that in an evolving art form a performer might invent— and I'm paraphrasing Mr. Isherwood here—a secret coded language baffling to her elders. That's what theater is, sir. Consider yourself baffled and old.“
