The fifth show in our 2007 "sUBVERsIVE sHORTs" Showcase
EFF
YOU
by Hank Kimmel
Directed by Kurt Schneiderman*
Starring Keith
Elkins as "Theater Artist"
ABOUT THE PLAY.
"EFF YOU" is a playful eight-minute long monologue delivered
by a playwright contemplating the pros and cons of using a certain four-letter
word expletive in his work. Atlanta playwright Hank Kimmel turns this
seemingly benign situation into a very funny intellectual tug-of-war as his
overly cerebral protagonist gets lost in a whirlwind of his own second
guessing. In the course of all this word play, the main character also
raises a number of challenging questions about modern-day standards,
perceptions, and prejudices.
 ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT.
Hank Kimmel is
the President of Working Title Playwrights (www.workingtitleplaywrights.com),
an Atlanta-based theatre company dedicated to the development of playwrights
and new plays. Hank's work was featured this Spring by the
Jewish Theatre of the South in Hank Kimmel's Shorts, a contemporary comic look
at relationships, work, religion and neighborhood life. Hank is a member of
the Dramatists Guild.
