HAPPENINGS
Spring 2008 in Los Angeles (part of an international tour)
DREAM MAN
James Carroll Pickett’s legendary play
directed by Michael Kearns and starring Jimmy ShawFrom Dublin ID Magazine, 2007
"Handsome poster boy Jimmy Shaw looks even better on stage as the (fully clothed) Christopher - a phone line sex host. He spared us nothing in the intensity of his phone calls, his skill at arousal, his intense vocal dexterity and vivid compulsive imagination. Did we lose anything here? Far from it…this one is timeless in the brutal honesty of the human emotion or lack of it that underpins the entire plot with dramatic consistency…Director and actor blended seamlessly in pulling all the punches in this script. Kearns and Shaw move way beyond titillation to get us all to face up to the sub-layers of a way of life that gripped people in the first wave after AIDS when anonymous sex moved from the physical to the fantasy…Dream Man rips through loneliness, despair, passing youth, isolation, grief and fear in a masterful way. Phone sex lines were the internet chat rooms of the 1980s…Shaw is a pleasure to behold.”
