WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Elixir Productions Theater Company presents Alex S. DeFazio's Radium, a two-act, erotically poetic theatrical study of intimacy among the interrelated sexual, social and personal lives of five urban gay males. Jody P. Person directs.
Radium opens in the bedroom of classical musician Alexis, immediately following an unrequited sexual encounter with self-styled artist Jay, who himself has rejected love and compassion, opting instead for acts of sexual humiliation. As scenes progress through bars, parties and other bedrooms, we are introduced to activist/lawyer Ryan who, while championing tolerance and freedom for others, cannot accept his boyfriend Louis' desire to become a woman; and are finally introduced to Alexis' former boyfriend Zachary--a reporter who appears to be the only one to find self-acceptance in an ecstatic moment of bliss... but is he really, in fact, the only one after all?

Despite its title, Radium doesn't exactly light up the stage. Written by Alex S. DeFazio, this tepid play raises some provocative issues but does not deal with them in a compelling manner. It revolves around five gay men who are connected in a daisy chain of sex and relationships. Alexis (Nathaniel P. Claridad) is a violist who thinks that his body is going numb and that he needs violent stimuli to feel again. He hooks up with J. (Bobby Abid), a self-described artist whose own body is his medium. We're also introduced to Ryan (Thay Floyd), Alexis' most recent boyfriend, who was previously involved with Louis (Dustyn Gulledge), a transsexual in transition. Zachary (Jon Deliz) is another of Al[...]
