Produced in September and October 1992 at Zachary Scott Theatre and in June 1993 at Chicago House, both in Austin, Texas. A Z-Edge co-production with the Subterranean Theatre Company, Big State Productions and Zach Scott Theatre. Directed by Jim Fritzler.

About the play In Eric Bogosian's biting one-man show, multiple characters--from a panhandler to a rich rock music lawyer to an aging rock star and more--accost, harangue, and amuse the audience.

What the critics said . . . "Under Fritzler's direction, Webster finds a fire within, a conduit for passion. Webster's performance was, frankly, amazing." The Austin American Statesman

"Ken Webster nails Bogosian's lines to the planking and never lets up. . . . A wonderfully bitter pill to swallow. Highly recommended." The Austin Chronicle

"The most riveting 80 minutes of the new theater season." The Daily Texan

". . . A great performance of Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll. I don't think there are too many actors who could pull that off, but he kicked butt." Richard Linklater
