It's all about appearances in As Bees in Honey Drown, a play in which the glitterati flock to anything à la mode and everyone is out for his or her own best interests. Enter Evan Wyler, a young gay writer in New York City who falls into the clutches of celebrity-obsessed con artist Alexa Vere de Vere. The sharp dialogue and clever satire in Bees is the work of Douglas Carter Beane, who also penned the theatrical version of Xanadu and the film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. Combine Beane's caustic wit with Bees' gripping storyline and this Obie-winning production keeps you riveted until the curtain falls.
