"Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll" is an accomplished evening of theatre consisting of ten vividly diverse character monologues filled with wit and eye-opening perceptions. Though the characters don't share scenes, they do share a coherent civilization where homelessness, guilt and an addictive desire to feel 'wonderful' (a state attained with drugs, power, money or sex) are ubiquitous. Beware - they may shake your cages. Like the paranoia in a Hitchcock movie, it's a little too close for comfort - no one is allowed a safe distance. The canvas is far broader than the title suggests. 'Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll' as a whole forces the audience to examine its own roles in the larger drama that, however unwillingly, it shares daily with the dispossessed, arguing finally that the homeless are threatening not just because they evoke suffering and guilt, but also because they represent revolt and freedom. They are the people who have been 'thrown out of their cages,' because they refused to do 'what they're supposed to do.'SOL THEATRE 1140 N FLAGLER DRIVE, FORT LAUDERDALE
