Peter and Madeline have been friends since they were teenagers
in Queens. They have Manhattan apartments and separate
unsatisfactory sex lives. Though more loving than most couples and
searching for partners, they are incompatible: he is gay. Maddi is
overweight and drawn to men who treat her badly. He hides behind
snappy retorts and skepticism. Maddie's alcoholic mother, Peter's
father, lovers, pickups and friends with AIDS move through their
lives. A homeless teenager, a thief and a poet who would rather be
called a whore than a hustler because he doesn't try that hard
address the audience to throw everyone's problems into perspective.
Dog Opera was first produced Off Broadway at The Joseph Papp Public
Theatre.
"Insinuates itself into the consciousness like a conversation in
the next booth at a diner.... Everything slowly comes to together
to form a coherent, sometimes funny and finally moving contemporary
comedy.... It's a singular work created by an imagination of
redeeming freedom and eccentricity." N.Y. Times.
