Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song at Marin Theatre Company

Marin Theatre Company presents Harvey Fierstein's “Torch Song,” directed by Evren Odcikin. An adaptation of Fierstein’s 1982 play “Torch Song Trilogy,” this newly revised two-act “Torch Song,” called “Spectacular. An energizing joy, as stimulating as four shots of espresso” by The New York Times, focuses on Arnold Beckoff, a lovelorn Jewish drag queen wielding the pithy wit of a Fran Lebowitz, who is looking for love in New York City. By turns hilarious and touching, this rollicking work finds Arnold stumbling through modern life, wallowing in cynical despair at ever finding a husband, a child, and a pair of bunny slippers that fit. When his disapproving mother arrives from Miami, the fur really starts to fly.
