Many years ago now, Capitol Hill was gay as shit. Maybe you think it’s gay now, but it’s gay like drinking a weak glass of Tang, rather than emptying a spoonful of the mix directly on your tongue.
Love’s Tangled Web at Annex (through May 16, tickets: $5-$12) reminded us sharply of how hilariously queeny things used to be around here. It goes on far too long–what starts out with a full head of bitchy, biting steam somersaults into the ridiculous, then faceplants. This is, in many ways, true to life, but as theatre…well, you get a little antsy after the bootlicking. The play runs two hours and twenty minutes, when 90 would have been sufficient.
