Synopsis
3 Guys in Drag Selling Their Stuff
Published by Stageplays
3 Male Female
BEST PLAY 2001
For Excellence in Off-Off Broadway Theatre
Diva, Lillian, and Tink - 3 men in drag - are having a yard sale
Diva sees herself the boss of everybody
Especially Lillian whose principal expertise is making punch that could fuel a rocket
Tink - confined to a wheelchair - is often misunderstood
With dire consequences!
We meet an entire neighborhood through the eyes of these "ladies" during their yard sale
Including Diva's mother who has the yard wired with eavesdropping devices!
And the explosive climax results in a police shootout
This is a raucous, raunchy, pee-in your-pants, more than a laugh-a-minute play
REVIEWS
"With the help of some brilliant dialogue, and the clever antics of the three characters, your mind's eye will create the entire neighborhood including an elderly friend who is hit by a truck, a handsome Greek motorcyclist, and Diva's mother in the nursing home across the street. Lillian's punch, made especially for the occasion, is heavily spiked and the plot gets more outrageous as the "girls" imbibe" ~ KDHX, St. Louis
"3 Guys in Drag Selling Their Stuff is side-splitting, to say the least . . . wicked wit . . . hilarious. Wells' script is silly, but structured and sprinkled with sensitive moments that further endear his characters to audience members" ~ Elias Stimac, New York Off-Off Broadway Review
"This play does what Beckett was trying to do, but Beckett was too squeamish to face the facts of the decline of the West. Wells faces them with hilarious completeness, and therefore is able to be both funnier and more tragic than Beckett ever was" ~ Robert Patrick
"A raucous comedy gets unleashed ... hilarious ... The unexpected complications create the high humor" ~ Jesse Greenburg, The Desert Leaf, Tucson
