The Happiest Medium took a look at a play of interest with "Accidental Incest: Someone For Everyone" – 5 Things To Know About The Show Before You Go (2012 Planet Connections Festivity).
The show benefits RAINN and is produced by Daydream Theatre Company. Here's the description...
“Accidental Incest: Someone for Everyone” is a sick and disturbing comedy about two people who find romance in this crazy world. The problem is that they are indeed brother and sister! So they are left with a question: Be miserable or be with the one person who truly gets who you are.”Why is that "sick and disturbing?" This sort of thing has happened in life before, especially due to Genetic Sexual Attraction. I think it is beautiful. There is enough hate in the world. When adults find love together, why should that be disturbing? RAINN fights abuse. Abuse is disturbing, not love.
At the link, the writer/director, Lenny Schwartz, answers some questions...
What do you hope the audience receives from the experience of seeing this show?
Lenny: Acceptance of themselves…no matter what size shape, color, or sexual orientation. and that’s the truth.
That was something my dad always believed in. Be happy with who you are. He was so excited when he heard I was doing this show…then two weeks after I told him he passed on.
My dad always liked when I wrote comedies. He also was accepting of everyone…and made sure that no matter who was in the room that they were worthwhile human beings no matter who they were or what they may have done in their their lives.
This one is for you, dad.
