Beyond Ridiculous tells the story of Theatre-in-Limbo, a downtown band of actors formed in 1984 by director Kenneth Elliott and playwright Charles Busch. They launched Vampire Lesbians of Sodom at the Limbo Lounge, a raffish club in the fringes of the East Village, but it would later become the longest running non-musical in off-Broadway history.
Elliott narrates in first-person the company's Cinderella tale of fun, heartbreak, and dishy drama. At the center of the audiobook is a young Charles Busch, an unforgettable personality fighting to be seen, to be heard, and to express his unique style as a writer-performer in plays such as Psycho Beach Party and The Lady in Question. The tragedy of AIDS among treasured friends in the company, the struggle for mainstream acceptance of LGBTQ+ theatre during the reign of President Ronald Reagan, and the exploration of new ways of being a gay theatre artist make the audiobook a bittersweet and joyous ride.
