“THE BED” By Robert Heide
Jack, Brian Uceta
Jim, Dakota Scarborough
Two men on a bed when ‘sex is dead’ and ‘God is dead’ is what the play is about. It is the ultimate hang-up, psychologically and metaphysically and the playwright clearly establishes that what we are witnessing here is the anguish of existence. Heide’s most performed play, The Bed was filmed by Andy Warhol who declared it “a work of genius.”
