Rising Action Theatre will present AS BEES IN HONEY DROWN from September 9, 2011 to October 9, 2011. AS BEES IN HONEY DROWN, written by Douglas Carter Beane, will be directed by Avi Hoffman.
A gay writer meets his Auntie Mame meal ticket in this delicious and breezy comedy.
This 'wry confectionery, extremely entertaining fable' (NY Times) comes to Rising Action to kick-off our fifth season. Douglas Carter Beane (The Little Dog Laughed, Sister Act, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar) spins a sexy and very funny tale of a young gay writer caught in the excitement of finding a rich socialite patron, Alexa Vere de Vere. A campy diva, who claims Auntie Mame as her chief inspiration, Alexa is a self-described promoter of British rock stars, and is now in the market for an even greater dose of fame. When she sees a near naked photo of a young gay novelist named Evan Wyler, Alexa is certain she's found the right man to do the job. And Evan thinks he's found his destiny fulfilled............
