Red Scare on Sunset
By Charles Busch
Directed by Allen Sawyer
Starring San Francisco drag cabaret sensation, J. Conrad Frank
Red Scare on Sunset is full of “...outrageous plot twists, chicanery and a finale that careens over the top” (LA Weekly). This lavish comedy delightfully defangs the McCarthyism that took the world by storm. It’s 1950’s Hollywood and the Cold War is about to come knocking on silver-screen star Mary Dale’s palatial front door: her husband’s Method acting class is a front for the Communist party and threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Mary must rally to defend her marriage, Hollywood and the American way in this outrageously funny and ironically timely parody.
