“I Wanna Destroy You”: Broke gay males and the divas who exploit them [theatre review]
Joshua Conkel’s I Wanna Destroy You – presented by the At Hand Theatre Company at NYC’s Beckett Theater, through June 1 –is a class-focused comedy that, at its best, shows a biting, Molierian edge. Set in Manhattan, it centers on Beau (Anthony Johnston), the young, gay and all but destitute assistant to a self-absorbed romance novelist named Cecile (Geneva Carr), whose prose verges on the pornographic, despite the fact that she herself detests sex.
