Synopsis: | Tonight, commercially successful but critically un-acclaimed artist, Steven Breckenridge, will unveil his masterwork, the one even the critics will love. Only problem is, he’s in a coma. So begins A Brush With Fate which the LA Reader called “a very entertaining look at the funny side of the dark side”. As an out-of-body bystander, Steven is privy to the motivations and machinations of his cut-throat agent, gay performance artist buddy, angular mistress, beautiful wife and stodgy art critic. Frustrated and hurt that in the midst of his impending death, he is the only one crying, Steven tries to ruin their fun. Faulty electrical wires and each other are blamed for the supernatural disturbances. Act One culminates in the unveiling of a bizarrely positioned, abstract nude. |
