I just saw on imdb the film version of this incredible play will be out this year starring Matthew McConaughey, Gina Gershon, Emile Hirsch and Juno Temple. I can't believe I hadn't heard about this before! Does anyone know anything about it??

"He's the narrator. I'm guessing the real Che Guevara didn't stand around street corners telling idle walkers-by the story of Eva Peron's ascension." - henrikegerman
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I thought BUG worked very well as a claustrophobic horror piece. It really crawled under your skin little by little. Granted, I saw the film before the play, but I still think it worked both ways.
