  Pillowtalk

  7:30 PM

  BRIC House Artist Studio
  647 Fulton Street

  Brooklyn, NY 11217

  Pillowtalk, produced by Kyoung's Pacific Beat, is an intimate two-character drama centered around Sam and Buck, a newlywed interracial gay couple. Using inventive staging incorporating elements of ballet’s pas de deux, the play looks at the evolving values of gay marriage through the shifting priorities of a young couple.
  
  There's a fun trailer for this work in progress, and also a video interview with the writer/director and the actors.
