Goldstar freebie: La Ronde Project: The Original, The Blue Room, F**cking Men

Street Tempo Theatre takes La Ronde, Arthur Schnitzler’s famously provocative play of 1900, and performs it in repertory with a pair of its acclaimed adaptations — David Hare’s The Blue Room and Joe DiPietro’s F**cking Men. The shocking-for-its-time La Ronde twists through several different sexual encounters, taking on the fantasies and realities of love while scrutinizing the sexual morals and class ideology of Viennese society. The Blue Room, from award-winning writer/director David Hare, brings the action into the present, circa 1998. This time, the daisy chain of physical encounters reveals what’s changed between the sexes and social classes, and what remains painfully the same. Finally, in F**cking Men, Joe DiPietro’s funny and poignant take on the original from 2010, ten urban gay men search for love, sex and intimacy in current-day America. DiPietro is the Tony Award-winning writer of 2010’s Best Musical Memphis and the long-running Off-Broadway show, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.

Freebie tickets are available for all performances through March 24th.
