"In Masks Outrageous and Austere" runs through May 25th at Culture Project, 45 Bleecker St. in NYC.

Plot: Babe Foxworth, the world’s richest woman, has been abducted to an undisclosed costal location. She has been brought there by the Gideon’s, a secret service-like security team, employed by Kudzu Chem, the clandestine corporation behind her vast wealth. With Babe are Billy Foxworth, her younger gay husband, and Jerry, his even younger male secretary from Harvard. Under a flickering Aurora Borealis, they meet their wacky neighbors from the invisible house next door, the opera singing Matron and her mentally challenged son Playboy who can only say "Coo" and is a compulsive masturbator. Mac, Matron’s gigantic husband who communicates through grunts, and his diminutive interpreter are also part of the surreal world. They play out a twisted game of survivor as the play hurtles towards a violent ending.
