Rob-
Since no one has chimed in- "Dirty Little Secrets" by Jeffrey
M. Jones was worked on at The NY RAT conference several years back.
Bottom's Dream did a reading of it at The Ivy as part of Sun and Moon
series shortly after that,with playwright Jeffrey M. Jones in attendance.
Moving Arts had taken an interest in the material as well, as you noted.
Then recently ASK Theatre projects did a reading of it directed by David
Schweizer last year at The ASK reading series at Taper Too.
It is based on tabloid stories and here is a description from the ASK
promotion-bD
DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS By Jeffrey M. Jones
Tommy's checking out rehabs, Mikey's checking out hyperbaric chambers,
and the Chairman's just checking out, baby. It's another day in the lives
of 20th century gods from the most reliable source there is--the
tabloids.
(that's Tommy Lee Jones,Michael Jackson and Sinatra.)
I saw the ASK reading as well as acted the role of Tommy Lee and directed
one of the NY RAT scenes. It is very funny and a wacky tour of our
culture from one of America's finest playwrights writing, Jeff
Jones.("Seventy Scenes of Halloween" and the classic
"Nightcoil") Jeff is currently working on a piece with Kelly
Stuart and his work has been published by Sun and Moon press(JP Morgan
Saves The World, was written with music by Jonathan Larson(RENT) and
"Love Trouble" which The Undermain produced) He has been known
to be supportive of RAT collaboration and if anyone wishes more info
about this writers work, I'd be happy to help as would many artists who
read these pages.
There ya go Rob.
