Sobre IBD

NIAGARA FALLS consists of two interrelated one-acts: AMERICAN COFFEE and THE SHANGRI-LA MOTOR INN. AMERICAN COFFEE: A working-class couple plots to drug their gay son and his lover to keep them from attending their daughter's wedding. THE SHANGRI-LA MOTOR INN: The newlyweds are ensconced in the Shangri-La Motor Inn for their wedding night. While the groom is anticipating the evening ahead, the bride is discussing the annulment of her not-yet-consummated marriage with the gay motel clerk. 'Rich comic cadences ... Bumbalo is a funny guy.' -Marilyn Stasio, New York Post 'Funny ... Lively ... Bumbalo demonstrates a healthy satiric wit, aimed at both straights and gays, and a lively sense of comic dialogue.' -Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle 'NIAGARA FALLS dares to tread in delicate areas ... Bumbalo scores some sharp character comedy ... the play's overall treatment of a situation and a rejected social class who receive little 'gay' treatment is most welcomed.' -Nicholas de Jongh, The Guardian (London) 'Funny and incisive.' -Rob Baker, Daily News 'Bumbalo must have secretly taped parents across the country. He outdoes Neil Simon ... It is a finely written work.' -John Kerr, Bay Area Reporter 'A maximum of both humor and pathos ... I could have cheered.' -James M Saslow, The Advocate 'There is a basic humanity here that one finds in very few plays.' -Michael Bronski, Gay Community News 'NIAGARA FALLS is a tender, canny, and frequently hilarious comedy.' -Alan Stern, The Boston Phoenix

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
