BASS FOR PICASSO

Veelzeggend.en neem dat vooral letterlijk.
Kate Moira's Bass for Picasso is op zijn zacht gezegd
wereldvreemd, ongezien. In goede en slechte vormen.

Bass For Picasso is about a dinner party going out of hand.
Hostess Francesca Danieli (Played by Anita Hollander)
is a one legged lesbian food writer with a bad apitate.
Then you have the bad playwright Kevin, who sells it soul for
a good review in the new york times, or another shot at life,
hes friend Bricka Matson a lesbian girl trying to raise her kid

(we are a tradional gay couple, we dont have kids)
is aiming to hurt Francessca by hiting on Pilar,her eurotrash
girlfriend with massochistisch kids and a stalking fantasy for ikea,
cause Franchesca was the one cheating on her with bricka's ex.
At the end of the table we have Doctor Joe, a man in love
with a meth addict boy, and in fight with a father who stabbed
his fourteen year old pregant girfriend in the stumach.

As this sounds like a bad lady gaga videoclip idea to you
your not that far away, altough...there is great potential in Bass For Picasso.
Its heart to play fucked up caracters like that so convincing and real.

and that is where the problem lies. Cause what is it al? A comedy, a no budget horrofilm, or just bald writing? Lets just say they have the balls to make a play like this work. Altough the stories and discussions
mostly going anywhere, is this amusement of a blackadder kind.

And even is the humour doenst work,
you will have a good conversation after this.
TBTB stuck its neck out for this

new improvement, this mockamy of the 21 century gay life.
And thats more i can say than you do. Headliner Anita Hollander
plays the perfect bitch anticipating on the right moments,
and Eurotrash Felice O'neal scores the joke without even trying
that hard. Thats how good she is. Bricka is a great emotional
being in this play where sidekicks Terry and Nick fill up the whole
with a certain glance of bertrayal. With that said if you want and
intresting view or the recepy of HASH Brownies Bass For Picasso is
just the ting you need.
