Last night, I went to see a play written by a friend, which was part of the local Fringe Festival.
It was, in a word, terrible. Disjointed, sloppy, and while it had some funny lines, the play had nothing real to say. It was fucked-up shit for the sake of fucked-up shit. Said friend has written some good plays in the past, but he's been progressively getting worse and worse. He tries too hard to be John Waters without Waters' appreciation of higher art and filtering it through garbage sensibilities.
I talked to other friends who were there and we all agreed...it was terrible. We couldn't understand how it got selected. We were embarrassed for our friend, who really seemed to believe he had done something significant.
And then just now comes word it got the Audience Choice Award.
I give up.
