New York Times review of Die Mommie Die

This review was published in the New York Times on Oct. 22, 2007.

One tidbit about me:

The performances in the stage version are bigger and cruder, closer to quick-sketch impersonations, which offer pleasures of their own. (I especially enjoyed Ms. Morris’s doom-speaking mod-Electra daughter.)

The cast listing:

WITH: Charles Busch (Angela Arden), Bob Ari (Sol Sussman), Van Hansis (Lance Sussman), Chris Hoch (Tony Parker), Ashley Morris (Edith Sussman) and Kristine Nielsen (Bootsie Carp).

Die Mommie Die!

According to Die Mommie Die! author Charles Busch:

Ex-pop singer, Angela Andrews, is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out of work TV actor, Tony Parker, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository.  In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, Angela’s Elektra-like daughter, Edith, convinces Angela’s emotionally disturbed son, Lance, that they must avenge their father’s death by killing their mother.

I played Edith!
