Actor and writer Jason O'Connell (Belam's Sense & Sensibility) discusses The Dork Knight, his one-man show about one man's obsession with another man's obsession with dressing up like a rodent and punching people. Directed by Tony Speciale (The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey), The Dork Knight runs through January 29 at Abingdon Theatre Company's Dorothy Strelsin Theatre (312 West 36th Street).

The Dork Knight traces the ups and downs of actor Jason O'Connell's personal and professional life as seen through the prism of his love/hate relationship with the Batman movies. Featuring numerous "cameos" from the bat-voices in his head, O'Connell takes us on a trip down cinematic memory lane that begins with the 1989 Michael Keaton blockbuster, and strolls past George Clooney's bat-nipples, Christian Bale's bat-growl, and a couple of iconic Jokers en route to (sigh) Batfleck. This funny, intimate memoir demonstrates how one's "inner geek" can guide and inspire in good times and in bad.
