Stranger Suggests Today The Stranger Suggests

'Love Person'
Love Person is a new play about translating ideas and emotions. As the three characters flirt and fight in sign language, Sanskrit, and English, we quickly realize the real problems with loving across borders of language: The ambiguity of translation leaves plenty of wiggle room to lie, cheat, and generally act like an asshole. As the weather becomes more malevolent, it's a pleasure to duck into a theater and watch a play that's both unabashedly romantic and undeniably intelligent. (Live Girls! Theater, 2220 NW Market St, 800-838-3006. 4 and 8 pm, $5–$15.)

October of 8002 had a "trasnmigrations opf Phillip K Dick" by Live Girs at MarketBallard. Was ok. First row couch seat was very nice. Got me to rearead "Radio free Albemuth'
Live Girls prior to that was down off of Yesler in that Art Loft place above the snowboard place down the road from the old Immunex (nbefore they sold out).
Art Wlk tHrsdys were mostly bearable due to the screenings the Live Grls would do late in th enveing. dunno about now, but then they used to Serve PBR in cans and vodka lemon.

Yes. But when man and woman or any two ptrs. both speak English, there's no room for misunderstanding, lying or assholery.
que bueno!
