punkplay

Please do yourself a favor and go see punkplay this weekend. It's the first show in Clubbed Thumb's Summerworks series and it's fantastic (and, in fact, go to all the shows in every Summerworks series, always. New rule). It's about two boys coming of age in the '80s and punk rock and Reagan and sex and friendship and figuring out who you are. And everyone is wearing roller skates the whole time, and, amazingly, that doesn't feel gimmicky at all. And the last monologue is beautiful.

It's a play I liked even more after I woke up the next day and thought about it again.
