The Third Story
by Charles Busch
with Charles Busch, Scott Parkinson, Sarah Rafferty, Jennifer Van Dyck,
Jonathan Walker
and Kathleen Turner
directed by Carl Andress
A mother and son screenwriting team
hunker down in Omaha after fleeing Commie-obsessed 1940's Hollywood. A
romantically-inclined but socially-inept princess makes a deal with an ancient
witch. And tommy guns meet test tubes as a way-too-well-dressed first lady of
the mob forms a desperate alliance with a cloning scientist whose experiments
have had, um, less-than-consistent results. Gangster flicks, fairy tales, and
B-movie sci-fi collide in this epic comic fable from the sick and silly
imagination of Charles Busch.
Kathleen Turner, Tony Award-nominee for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
and star of Peggy Sue Got Married, Romancing the Stone, and Serial
Mom, joins the cast of The Third Story. Charles Busch,
a seminal figure of the downtown theater scene since his early years as a drag
superstar in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and Red Scare on Sunset,
has recently achieved widespread acclaim as writer of the Tony-nominated hit The
Tale of the Allergist's Wife and star of the film Die, Mommie, Die!.
