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. (Other characters are forever referring to Cecile as “frigid.” Do people really still use that term in real life?)
