Unstaged play captures Lenny Bruce’s relevance, edgy danger
Visit The Boston Globe Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Comment on this Scroll to top of page Mark Arsenault Globe Staff March 28, 2019 NEW YORK — The ghost of groundbreaking comedian Lenny Bruce hovers impishly over “Buyer Beware,” the play by Michael Weller that drew a national spotlight to Brandeis University in 2017, after a campus production was derailed over complaints of offensive content. Is it an offensive play? Do you generally like jokes about pedophilia, the Crucifixion, and Jesus’s manhood?Of course not, me neither. Normally. But I laughed at many of the Lenny Bruce jokes (and Bruce-like jokes) at a recent reading of “Buyer Beware” at a small SoHo theater, and I wasn’t alone. Weller’s script even called us out for laughing. Real laughter is honest, the play says, because it cannot be controlled. It reveals something about us.

R.I.P., Bruce Corbitt
Bruce Corbitt spent his life pursuing his American dream onstage. Named after the Caped Crusader, he wore his long hair like a heavy metal barbarian, wielded a chainlink microphone like a magical weapon, and slayed fans around the world with his rapid-fire vocals. When he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer more than a year ago, he poured the same energy and intensity he unleashed onstage into his fight with an enemy that kills approximately 1,620 people each day, according to the American Cancer Society. This Batman-esque willpower helped him survive multiple stabbings in the ’80s and, more recently, heart disease. It kept him going when his Stage 3 diagnosis became Stage 4 in December 2017 and was on full display when he entered hospice care on January 11 of this year. He died on Friday afternoon at age 56. “This is the bravest man I will ever know,” wrote his wife Jenna Corbitt on Facebook shortly after his death. “He fought so hard, and instead of three … [Read more...] about R.I.P., Bruce Corbitt

Perry Township residents recall halcyon days before warehouses
Thursday June 21, 2018 12:01 AM Major developments along Route 61 are replacing former farmland and a golf course. Written by Ron Devlin Perry Township, PA — Pegeen Kline's heart sinks when she looks out the window of her quaint cottage on Zions Church Road in Perry Township.Giant yellow earthmovers, carving a home for 2.1 million square feet of warehouses in Hamburg Commerce Park, are devouring the farm on which Kline had spent her childhood. So dramatic has been the landscape's change, Kline has difficulty imagining exactly where the farmhouse, the horse barn and the chicken coop once stood.Her well-kept Cape Cod is surrounded on three sides by the warehouse complex on the former Esther Ludwig estate, on a hillside north of Zions Church Road. If that weren't enough, another large warehouse complex, Hamburg Logistics Park, is sprouting directly across the street on the fairways of the former Perry Golf Course.Despite the prospect of hundreds of tractor-trailers … [Read more...] about Perry Township residents recall halcyon days before warehouses
