“If a perceived straight actor portrays a gay role in a feature film, it’s noble. It’s a stretch. It’s the pretty lady putting on the fake nose and winning an Oscar. If an actor with a ‘friend’ plays a gay role it’s not acting, it’s bragging.”
One of the biggest hits of the New York theater season last year, Douglas Carter Beane’s Tony-nominated play is a zinger-filled comedy about deception and double-dealings in Hollywood. At the play’s center is that loveable monster, a Hollywood agent, whose star client has a secret that would change everything….if it came out. “If you like to laugh,” cheered Liz Smith, the doyenne of gossip columnists, “…don’t miss The Little Dog Laughed.” |
