Bad Habits
Terrence McNally's comedy about people facing their bad habits. At Theatre Rhinoceros August 6-20. At Dunelawn, a hedonistic doctor teaches his patients to not only embrace their bad habits but to also look for new ones to try out. In contrast, at Ravenswood, a diabolical-yet-perfect nurse suppresses every possible pleasure her patients might experience. The medical staff at Ravenswood believes in suppressing every pleasure, because pleasure leads to personality defects. They continually combat unrepentent patients including an alcoholic, a drag queen, and an Italian man who has turned into a Japanese sadist. Head nurse Ruth Benson has made herself into a perfect person and is committed to helping (forcing) her patients to reach that same lofty goal and ridding them of their bad habits even if it kills them.
