LOVE SEX FLEAS GOD, CONFESSIONS OF A STAY-AT-HOME DAD Comes to Alexander Upstairs

David Muller and Celia Muiskanth's stage adaptation of Bruce Clark's memoir, LOVE, SEX, FLEAS, GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A STAY AT HOME DAD, which Muller performs and Musikanth directs, will play a season at the Alexander Upstairs this April.

What drives a man to say, "I'd rather get a dog," when his dying mother suggests he settle down, marry, have children.

In LOVE, SEX, FLEAS, GOD, childhood and parenting are a unifying thread weaving together all the anxieties, frustrations and delights of sex, marriage and fatherhood into one seamless whole. What emerges is a play about the redemptive power of love, the fun of sex, the inconvenience of fleas - the couple have a dog - and the role of spirituality in bringing a measure of sanity to an insane world.

The answer is in Bruce Clark's autobiographical book, Love Sex Fleas God, confessions of a stay-at-home father, now a theatrical adaptation Directed by Celia Musikanth, has David Muller as in this single-hander. Love Sex Fleas God is amusing, authentic, honest, and poignant with many moments that resonate . P

This is the latest in Muller's series of solo performances, joining characterizations of Herman Charles Bosman's Oom Schalk, Einstein, Tommy (a Kalk Bay fisherman), and the Narrator of WHALE NATION. OVE, SEX, FLEAS, GOD sees him play Bruce and a host of other roles in a show that is sure to resonate with parents and parents-to-be, as the quiet and reserved Bruce turns his toxic childhood into an awesome fatherhood.
