Crumble (Lay Me Down
Justin Timberlake)
Written by Sheila Callaghan

The Apartment has fallen into disrepair…and he’s not happy about it. As
Mother channels her anxiety and grief over the death of her husband into
elaborate cooking rituals and 11-year-old Janice hatches a dark plot with her
dolls, The Apartment kvetches endlessly, longing in one moment for his
occupants’ caresses and in the next for their deaths. But Janice and Mother are
focused on their own longings, which take the form of Justin Timberlake and
Harrison Ford, respectively. And then there’s the sister with 50 cats. The LA
Times called Crumble “[a] sweetly
audacious parable,” adding, “Ionesco never blended absurdity, terror and
sentiment more strikingly.”

After seven years with the same man, John is starting to
feel a bit claustrophobic. But when he and his boyfriend decide to take a
break, John surprises himself by falling in love with a woman. As both partners
vie for his attention and affection, John is forced to make a choice about his
relationship and identity. Called “Uproariously funny” by New York Magazine, Cock is an investigation of the nature
of love, sexuality, and the expectations of society.
