The Essential Theatre 10th Anniversary New Play Festival will include the Southeastern Premiere of Paul Rudnick's hilarious comedy VALHALLA. Science has more or less given up on trying to determine the origin of homosexuality, but Paul Rudnick hasn't. Many of his plays are nothing less than gay creation myths. The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told [Essential Theatre 2004 Power Plays Festival] filled us in on the saga of Adam and Steve. His new play Valhalla uses the biography of King Ludwig II, the 19th century "Mad King of Bavaria," to launch a meditation on the gay obsession with beauty. In essence, it asks: which came first, homosexuality or a distaste for brown wallpaper and pink chenille bedspreads?
