WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Flea Theater presents America LoveSexDeath, created and performed by the internationally acclaimed Billy The Mime.
Billy has rejuvenated an art form that has been justly ridiculed due to untrained and amateur practitioners, and he has restored its ability to entertain, amuse, shock, and move an audience. America LoveSexDeath will tackle controversial subject matter with such routines as "JFK JR. We Hardly Knew Ye," "Close To Her: Karen Carpenter," "Slave!," "World War II," "Thomas & Sally: A Night at Monticello," "The Priest and The Altar Boy," "The Abortion," "Terry Schiavo, Adieu," "A Night in San Francisco - 1979," "A Day Called 9/11," "Kurt Cobain: Why?," "Christopher Reeve: A Super Man," "Love & Death: OJ and Nicole," "A Night with Jeffrey Dahmer" and "Virginia Tech 4/16/07."

In America LoveSexDeath, his macabre, highly disturbing, and wickedly provocative solo piece now playing at the Flea Theater, he takes these mime staples to dark places other mimes don't think -- or have the audacity -- to go. In doing so, he's daring audiences to stay with him or resist. My guess is that the stayers and the resisters will split about 50-50. Okay, maybe 25-75. Or if y[...]
