I'm starting to wonder if anyone other than drag queens saw this show - it was just 2 mos. ago. I've seen it reviewed on a few drag queen blogs but no where else >>>>>>>

OH MY DEAR!

friday night, i saw the workshop of "my deah", JOHN EPPERSON'S hilarious adaptation of EURIPIDES' "medea". i laughed so hard i almost hurt myself. the title role is played by the mesmerizing NANCY OPEL, who quite literally put me under her spell from beginning to end. the play has all the humor, wit and cleverness of MR. EPPERSON'S most famous production, "lypsinka".

Lypsinka is taking a wig-break while her "male" altered ego John Epperson gears up for a run of the play he's been writing for years. Called MY DEAH (to be pronounced with a "Daddy, would you mind bringin' little ol' me another mint julep onto the veranda?" accent), it draws on the greek tragedy MEDEA--get it? But it's not a tragedy, or at least not intentionally, anyway. The new play spotlights Gator Hedgepeth, a former Mississippi football star, and his plans to abandon his wife, My Deah -- an ex-beauty queen from Louisiana with a penchant for a gossip-filled bridge game -- to marry Simplicity Bullard, the daughter of the corrupt, one-armed Governor Bullard. When My Deah confronts her card-dealing friends (and Governor Bullard) and she lays out her plans for revenge. Y'all just might could die laughin'!
