VIDEOS OF PLAYS

A bit of “Stuporfriends,” his satirical play about someone killing off the Superfriends one by one, is popular on youtube and getting him hate e-mail from Romania. Here's a short two minute scene where an imprisoned Batman and Superman, grieving over their lost super friends, reach out to each other in jail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq3Npdq_MME

A short promo for “The Baghdad Prom,” his project taken from five years of conversation with writers in Iraq. Check the main theatre projects page for more details.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FilKabn1LQg
 
Part of “The Most Depressing Man in the World,” a short film of mine directed by John Pocino, about a playwright who depresses others with his wisdom on life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt0SA8_DwvU

 

 

THE NAKED HOLIDAYS OPENING
(This is from a collection of holiday themed one acts – I wrote the opening play.  It went up at Sacred Fools in LA and at End Times in NYC in December, 2007.)

LA Weekly
“George Larkin’s ‘The Naked Holidays Opening,’ directed gleefully by Alexander Yannis Stephano, is the pick of the show.  A multicultural melange outlining the contrasting traditions of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa with a debunking of Christian traditions, climaxing in a semi-clothed chorus line.”

LA Times (from page one of the Calendar Section)
“Most of the clothes come off near the end of George Larkin’s frisky musical introduction, which also establishes that the holidays in question include Hanukkah, Kwanza and solstice celebrations, as well as Christmas.  The show pokes fun of its own ethnic non-diversity by enlisting an unwilling white guy (Jeff Benninghofen) to explain Kwanza.  Not all of the seven vignettes that follow are especially raw.  Nothing else is as good.”
