HAND TO GOD's Stephen Boyer Says Goodbye To His Left Hand Man, Tyrone

An indispensable assistant is often referred to as a "right hand man." For the better part of five years, from readings to Off-Off-Broadway to Off-Broadway and finally to Broadway's Booth Theatre, HAND TO GOD's Steven Boyer has been working with a left hand man.

Or a left hand demon, if you prefer.

When Robert Askins' subversive comedy of a shy Texas youth whose sock puppet appears possessed by a foul-mouth demon named Tyrone ended its Broadway run on January 3rd, the Tony nominee became free to look at his left hand as more than just an acting partner.

"I've had to figure out how to move forward after playing two roles that ruled my life for so long," he writes in a New York Times column. "The first thing I did was sleep. Well, that's not true. The first thing was to drink myself into a stupor with the cast and then smoke cigars with Bob Saget. Priorities. Next came the sleep. I think my body has accumulated hours of sleep deficiency, and I believe that is a debt that must be paid. So far this week, I have not risen before 11:30 a.m. It's only a start."
