July 15, Saturday 8 pm — Outing Wittgenstein is a post-modern comedy starring the (famous) 20th Century philosopher, and his gay alter ego. The centerpiece of the play is the outing of Ludwig Wittgenstein on the TV show “This Is Your Death” — similar to the 1950’s program “This Is Your Life” — and the impact the Wittgenstein episode & outing has on a few friends. Along the way, we also meet Carmen Miranda, the philosopher Bertrand Russel, Adolph Hitler, and a few other ridiculous characters. I’ll be directing a staged reading, one night only, 8:00 pm, at CounterPULSE — 1310 Mission Street (at 9th St.) in San Francisco.
