Hustlers, drag queens, pimps, johns, drugs and power games. Playwright Alan Bowne tears a piece off NYC's 42nd Street. Like a lost Lou Reed song.
A gritty ensemble featured Edward Roy, Angelo Pedari, and Brock Johnson (seen in clip), as well as a memorable turn by Danny Allman.
Canadian Premiere - at the Bathurst Street Theatre
“A tight piece of theatre work powerfully performed by a company of seven actors, some of whom seem born to their roles.”
Zsuzsi Gartner, The Globe & Mail
“As directed by Jon Michaelson, it’s a deep and demanding theatrical experience…a powerful play oozing with violence.”
Rod Curie, Canadian Press
“Few companies in town would take on a work as difficult as this. Mercury deserves credit for the attempt and for a production that communicates manyof the play’s strengths.”
Jon Kaplan, Now Magazine
