| This is the latest installment of Richard Sheinmel's Modern Living play cycle, which began in 2006 at La MaMa. Much like Armistead Maupin's Tales of The City novels follows the exploits of Michael Tolliver, this series of related plays center on Mitch, a gay "downtown" New York performance artist, as he writes plays about his life. Post Modern Living presents two interrelated tales. The first half follows a day in the life of Mitch and Chester, a committed couple in a long time relationship. It is a boy-meets-boy story of promiscuity, first dates, self-imposed celibacy, and true love. The second half takes place on Mother's Day, as Mitch help his mom with her garden. She recounts the story of how she discovered her breast cancer, the doctor who saved her life, and how her illness has re-affirmed her faith. | |||||
