Measure for Pleasure
OK, really now. When has the title of a show been as much fun to say as 'Measure for Pleasure'? I just can't stop saying it. "Meeeeeeh-shuuuure for Pleeeeeh-shuuuure". I'm a geek, I know. Just gotta embrace it sometimes.
Opening last night for previews at the Public Theater, Measure for Pleasure is on my short list of shows to see. Not only does it have a damn hot poster (see Gawker for the clean version printed in the NY Times), but it's directed by the uber-talented Peter DuBois - who directed Richard III last year and, before coming to the Public, served as Artistic Director of the Perseverance Theater. This new play (read: world premiere) by David Grimm sounds like sex for my brain (and I'm expecting it to deliver):
But really, just think of the fun you'll have the next morning telling all your co-workers, "I just saw this great show downtown featuring a sex cave!" How often are you going to be able to say that? Tix here.

Will Blunt is in love with Molly, a young transvestite prostitute. But when Blunt rescues him from a life on the streets, he doesn't count on Molly falling in love with Dashwood, the handsome womanizing rake.Obligatory sex cave? Sounds like a typical night out in the East Village, if you ask me.
Restoration comedy meets modern sex farce in this romantic adventure, exploring the elusive nature of happiness; featuring mistaken identities, duels and double-dealings, and the obligatory sex cave.
