Shame, Simon, Shame
A Multimedia Fetish Fantasy
written by Topher Cusumano
performed by Topher Cusumano and Mike Thatcher
APRIL 16 & 22 AT 8 PM
Topher Cusumano’s new play, SHAME, SIMON, SHAME takes a look behind the leather mask of the fetish community and explores the concepts of normality, shame, and power, all while asking the question, “Is something real only because we believe in it?” The play is infused with stunning multimedia, designed and directed by Dan Kontz, taking the audience on a journey with Simon and his clients as they search for truth, love, and maybe a good hard spanking.
Topher Cusumano's solo show "Roughhouse" won major critical acclaim in the 2009 Left Out Festival.
Jack Hanley, in nytheatre.com says, "It was unsettling, it was raw, and yes, to be honest, it was arousing, and consequently my own arousal became the unsettling thing. And I was thrilled, thrilled to be seeing provocative performance art by a gay man."
