Humpday With Quasimodo

Theater lovers, I hope you can come out to 59E59 Theaters next week for my pre-show Q&A with the radio psychologist Joy Browne from WOR. The theater was kind enough to ask me to talk about Tortured Artists before a performance of Theater Oobleck’s The Hunchback Variations.

I’m very excited to be celebrating the misery of great artists at this terrific off-Broadway theater. I’ve seen many shows there, and I love the work they do.

The Hunchback Variations dramatizes a hilarious and melancholy panel discussion between Quasimodo, hunchback of Notre Dame, and Ludwig van Beethoven, composer, on their attempt to create a mysterious sound effect called for in Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard.

Chekhov, Beethoven, and a lovelorn hunchback—it doesn’t get any more tortured than that.
