Performance - Dickhead

Theater For The New City
155 First Avenue
Written by Gil Kofman
Directed by Richard Caliban
The title character, a lawyer named Richard (often referred to as a dick), has forgotten the password to his bitcoin wallet where he has millions of dollars sitting just out of reach. Frustration turns to desperation as the virtual currency rises exponentially in value, as if mocking him. Blustering, conceited and contemptuous, he fitfully exhausts the number of guesses permitted to unlock his wallet. Sensing his impending loss, he grows more manic and abusive toward his kind and patient wife, Ruth, and toward his son’s family, who are temporarily bunking with him while their house is being cleared of toxic mold. Richard’s son, Bobby, writes unsalable screenplays. Bobby’s wife, Darcy, a former school teacher, pruriently promotes herself on OnlyFans (a social network for exhibitionists). Their adolescent son, Junior, lives ensconced in a VR headset, immersed in his own fantasy world and oblivious to their outlandish misadventures. Their ethereal fantasies are only a footnote to their reality until a stalker from Darcy’s OnlyFans audience appears, shattering the family’s perverse equilibrium.
